Tulowitzki, Choo take weekly MLB honors

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and Cleveland outfielder Shin-Soo Choo won major league baseball's Player of the Week honors Monday.

Tulowitzki won the National League award for the second straight week thanks to his powerful performance for the Rockies, who are battling to make the NL playoffs.

Tulowitzki hit .346 and cracked six homers last week, the most in baseball for the second straight week. He pounded out 17 RBI, gained 28 total bases and scored nine runs for Colorado.

Choo won the American League nod after posting a career night against Kansas City Friday when he knocked three homers and drove in seven runs.
