DENVER -- Charlie Blackmon homered among his three hits, Jorge De La Rosa pitched effectively for six innings and the Colorado Rockies beat the New York
Mets 10-3 Friday night for their sixth win in seven games.
Carlos Santana Indians Jersey . Troy Tulowitzki added three hits and three RBIs, and Nolan Arenado extended the
majors longest hitting streak to 22 games with a single in the seventh. The
flashy third baseman, whose streak is tied for the third-longest in Rockies
history, also made an eye-catching stop of Chris Youngs sharply hit grounder
down the line in the eighth, finishing the play with an off-balance throw across
the diamond. De La Rosa (3-3) allowed three runs and eight hits, including a
two-run homer by Curtis Granderson in the sixth. The left-hander struck out four
and walked three in winning his third straight since an 0-3 start. Zack Wheeler
(1-3) allowed seven runs in four innings. It was both the shortest start of his
big league career and the most runs hes allowed in an outing. Wheeler was in
trouble from the outset, despite being staked to a 1-0 lead in the first. The
Rockies got to him for four runs in the bottom half to move in front. The first
five Colorado batters all reached via a hit or walk, with Tulowitzki and
Wilin Rosario producing RBI singles and Justin Morneau hitting a run-scoring
double. Corey Dickerson drove in the fourth run with a sacrifice fly. Colorado
pushed its lead to 6-1 on Tulowitzkis two-run single in the second and made it
7-1 in the fourth on Blackmons RBI groundout. Juan Lagares doubled to open the
game, went to third on a single by Daniel Murphy and scored when a wild pitch by
De La Rosa got past Rosario. NOTES: Commissioner Bud Selig, who announced this
would be his final season as baseballs chief executive, attended the game as
part of his farewell tour of major league parks. He was warmly received by the
crowd when he was introduced over the public address system between innings. ...
Lagares extended his hitting streak to 11 games, one shy of his career high. ...
Before the game, the Rockies placed INF Josh Rutledge on the 15-day disabled
list because of a viral infection and recalled INF Ryan Wheeler from Triple-A
Colorado Springs. ... Rockies manager Walt Weiss said RHP Jhoulys Chacin (right
shoulder strain) will be activated from the disabled list to start Sunday
against the Mets. ... RHP Jenrry Mejia (3-0) is slated to start for New York on

Carlos Gonzalez, who bruised his left index finger when he fouled off a pitch
Thursday night, sat out but could be back in the lineup as soon as Saturday,
according to Weiss. ... Granderson has scored at least one run in five straight
games. ... Former Rockies third baseman Vinny Castilla, now a special assistant
to the general manager, also had a 22-game hitting streak from Aug. 9 to Sept.

starting quarterbacks are out for the season in the CFL West but it really wont
matter much to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as they look to climb out of last place
in the division, coach Mike OShea said Tuesday. Saskatchewan Roughriders Darian
Durant tore a tendon in his elbow in Sundays win in Winnipeg and, in his first
game back in 2014, B.C.s Travis Lulay injured the same shoulder that had kept
him from playing until now, as it healed from off-season surgery. But that still
doesnt mean the Bombers (6-5) will have an easier time of it, said OShea.
"Theres no point in looking at it that way for us," said OShea. "Travis Lulay
played one game, right, so Kevin Glenns got them to where they are right now
(6-4). In reality, Kevin Glenns been the starter. "And we dont play Saskatchewan
again until the playoffs. So theres nothing we can really do about that." Of
course, Winnipeg has to make the playoffs, and with five of their seven
remaining games against western teams, that isnt going to be easy. They start
with the B.C. Lions on Saturday. The Lions (6-4) are the only western team the
Bombers have managed to beat this season, their first back in the West in about
a decade. As for Saskatchewan, theyve taken the Bombers down three times in
2014, although Sundays 30-24 win was just as painful for the winners as it was
for the losers with Durant injured and expected to undergo surgery in the next
few days. "Realistically, his regular season is probably done," said Roughriders
general manager Brendan Taman. "Whether or not we can get him back for the
playoffs, well see. Its not the greatest of outlooks." The outlook is just as
grim for Lulay. "Travis has suffered a shoulder dislocation very similar to the
one he had last season," Dr. Bob McCormack said in a statemeent after Lulay was
injured in Fridays 7-5 win over the Ottawa Redblacks.
Kenny Lofton Indians Jersey. "Due to the nature of the injury, the surgery which was performed on Travis shoulder last
winter has essentially been undone." Despite OSheas comments, if Winnipeg
quarterback Drew Willy can stay healthy the Bombers chances of making the
playoffs would seem to have increased with both Lulay and Durant gone. The
Bombers do have their own injury issues, but none as critical. One of the most
troublesome right now may be the absence of long-snapper and linebacker Ian
Wild. Bad snaps didnt help Sunday as the Bombers fell 30-24 to the Roughriders,
after surrendering an early lead. OShea said there is a chance Wild may be ready
to return to meet B.C., but the Bombers dont want to risk his health by sending
him in too soon. They were missing receiver Nick Moore last Sunday with a
sprained ankle but the Bombers are deep at receiver this season and have veteran
Romby Bryant in reserve. He picked up 60 yards Sunday in a losing effort in
which OShea noted the Bomber offence actually had a pretty good game. Meanwhile,
offensive linemen Pat Neufeld and Mathias Goossen are also injured and OShea
said Neufeld is possibly out for another week still, although Goossen may be
able to return to practice. The Bombers will practise for the first time
Wednesday since Sundays loss. Penalties (13 of them) were also costly for the
Bombers Sunday and OShea said hes discussed the issue with the team. "What are
we averaging, were averaging nine a game, and we had 13, so theres four more.
The unfortunate part is those four are probably URs (unnecessary roughness)
which adds up to a lot of yards. Weve just got to do a better job." He said he
is still seeking clarification about a couple of those 13 penalties because hes
unclear on exactly what was called.
