    For one night, Charlie Culberson looked a little bit like the shortstop he's trying to replace.

    He had the power of Troy Tulowitzki and the nifty moves, too -- jumping out of the way of a shattered bat fragment to cleanly field a grounder.

    "Not Tulowitzki," cautioned Culberson, "but if they put (me) in the lineup, I'll be ready to play."

    Culberson hit his first homer in more than a month -- a three-run shot in the fifth -- and Jorge De La Rosa pitched seven effective innings to lift the Colorado Rockies over the Cincinnati Reds 7-3 on Thursday.
