Hours after the untimely death of their president, the Colorado Rockies honored Keli McGregor with their best hitting display of the season. The Rockies will try to keep their offense rolling Wednesday night as they look to continue their dominance of the Washington Nationals. McGregor, who was in his 17th season with Colorado and the team’s president since 2001, was on a business trip when he was found dead Tuesday morning in a Salt Lake City hotel at the age of 48. Police said the investigation has been turned over to the medical examiner’s office, and no foul play is believed to be involved. Later that night, Colorado scored eight runs in the third inning, and collected a season-high 14 hits in a 10-4 win.

Before the game, Todd Helton hung a jersey in the dugout with McGregor’s name on it and the No. 88 he wore as a second-team All-America tight end with Colorado State before a brief NFL career in the 1980s. The team will also begin wearing a memorial patch on its jerseys Wednesday. Helton, who hunted and lifted weights with McGregor, is hitting .393 with 25 homers and 78 RBIs in 82 career games versus Washington. The Rockies will try to beat the Nationals for the 11th time in 12 games, and Jason Hammel will take the mound looking to rebound from one of the worst performances of his career. The right-hander was tagged for seven runs and eight hits with three walks in just 1 2-3 innings of a 9-5 loss at Atlanta on Friday. He’s 1-0 with a 3.55 ERA in two starts against the Nationals, winning at Washington on Aug. 20 when he yielded one run in seven innings of a 4-1 victory.
