Spilborghs is enjoying a successful 2007 campaign; hitting .304 with 11 home runs and 51 RBI\u2019s in 96 games.  In the important month of September, the former UC-Santa Barbara standout hit .322 with an on-base percentage of .403 that included a pair of three-hit performances\u2014both coming in Rockies victories.  The Rockies and Padres sit tied atop the National League Wild Card standings with the winner scheduled to play the NL East Champion Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.  The Padres\u2019 Jake Peavy (19-6, 2.36 ERA) will toe the mound versus Rockies starter Josh Fogg (10-9, 4.79).  Tonight\u2019s first pitch is scheduled for 6:37 p.m. on TBS.   <\/p>\n<p>The Mallards honored its first former player in Major League Baseball on June 19 by giving the first 1,000 fans a Ryan Spilborghs figurine.  Spilborghs proudly displays the figurine in his Rockies locker.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was kind of neat, especially to go show my Rockies teammates,\u201d said Spilborghs in an earlier Capital Times article.  \u201cI have a little figurine of myself now.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"images_news\"> <img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/www.mallardsbaseball.com\/images\/stories\/site_images\/news\/spilborghscard 001.jpg\" align=\"left\" width=\"28%\" vspace=\"3\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado Rockies outfielder Ryan Spilborghs, a member of the Mallards 2001 inaugural team, will try to make the playoffs for  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archived-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Former Mallard Spilborghs, Rockies fight for last MLB playoff spot tonight!
