HR Recap: Troy Tulowitzki vs. Paul Maholm (4/7/11)

Troy Tulowitzki hit a 4th inning home run of Paul Maholm yesterday in Pittsburgh.  It was actually a decent sequence of pitches from Maholm, but an even better job of hitting by Tulowitzki.

Maholm started him out with two fastballs inside.  He then threw him a curve and a slider low, followed by fastball up.  On a full count, Troy took Maholm's 89 MPH inside fastball out of the park.  You can see that Maholm was trying to pitch to Tulowitzki's weak power zones.  But Troy was able to turn on it and deposit the pitch 390 feet away into the left field seats at PNC Park.
