DENVER >> Andre Ethier did something so perfectly common in his first at-bat on Monday that it was easy to lose perspective of the moment.A left-handed hitter, Ethier hit a home run off Colorado Rockies starter Kyle Kendrick, a right-handed pitcher. The ball disappeared into the forest at Coors Field -- an actual collection of trees that's swallowed home runs to right-center by Carlos Gonzalez and Larry Walker and Todd Helton dozens of times over the years.
