Summary

Having missed the first 68 games of the season due to a groin injury, right fielder Larry Walker's first three home runs of the season came on June 25 against Cleveland. The last was off José Jiménez, which won the game for the Rockies in the 10th inning for a 10−8 margin. Walker totaled four hits and five runs batted in (RBI) on the day, and it was his third career three-home run game.

Walker reached 2,000 career hits on June 30 becoming the 234th player in major league history to do so. Having already achieved 400 doubles, 300 home runs, 1,000 runs scored, and 1,000 RBI, he became the 40th player to reach all five totals. The milestone hit was a double off Ben Sheets in the fourth inning versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Through that point, Walker was the Rockies' career leader in 12 categories.

In-season transactions

• July 22: Jamey Wright was signed as a free agent.
• August 6: Traded right fielder Larry Walker to the St. Louis Cardinals for players to be named later and Jason Burch. On August 11, the Cardinals sent Luis Martinez and Chris Narveson to the Rockies to complete the trade.
• September 27, 2004: Jhoulys Chacín was signed as an amateur free agent.
