    MEDIA CLIPS – April 9, 2017 Rare air: Rockies hit three HRs off Kershaw By Ken Gurnick and Thomas Harding / MLB.com DENVER -- Mark Reynolds and Gerardo Parra delivered back-to-back homers off Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw -- something he had never experienced -- to lift the Rockies to a 4-2 victory at Coors Field on Saturday night before a sellout crowd of 48,012. "It doesn't surprise me," Reynolds said when it was noted consecutive homers off Kershaw had never happened. "He's tough. He just left a couple pitches up in the zone, and me and Parra put good swings on them. "You've got to pick a pitch. His slider is tough. His heater, he elevates. His curveball, it's tough sledding. You've got to hope he makes a mistake. He made three of them tonight." There was more homer history off Kershaw, a three-time National League Cy Young Award winner. Because Nolan Arenado homered in the first inning, the game was the third time that Kershaw had given up three homers in a game. Two have been against the Rockies. "I know he felt good, he had good stuff, it's just one of those things with good hitters," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Kershaw's outing. Arenado's homer, his second, also was a one-of-a kind feat. It came on a 75 mph curveball, and was just the fourth on a Kershaw curve since Statcast™ began tracking in 2015. Arenado's was the hardest-hit (103.7 mph) and farthest projected distance (431 feet) on a homer on a Kershaw bender.

    MEDIA CLIPS – February 3, 2017 Young arms among Rockies' camp invites Veteran batters Denorfia, Reynolds also on non-roster list By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | @harding_at_mlb | February 2nd, 2017 DENVER -- Two fast-rising pitching prospects, right-hander Ryan Castellani and lefty Sam Howard, will make their first appearances in Major League camp this spring for the Rockies, who announced their non-roster invitees on Thursday. The group includes veterans Chris Denorfia, a right-handed-hitting outfielder, andMark Reynolds, who was the Rockies' primary first baseman last year. In all, the Rockies invited 22 players, including nine pitchers, to bring the total number to 62. Pitchers and catchers will have their first workout on Feb. 14, and the initial full-squad workout is Feb. 20. Castellani, who turns 21 on April 1, is a 2014 second-round pick out of Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix. He went 7- 8 with a 3.81 ERA and 142 strikeouts in 167 2/3 innings last season at Class A Advanced Modesto against older competition in the California League. Howard, who turns 24 on March 5, was drafted a round after Castellani out of Georgia Southern. Howard went 9-9 with a 3.35 ERA, and fanned 140 in 156 innings. In the latest ranking of top 30 Rockies prospects by MLBPipeline.com, Castellani was No. 12 and Howard was 20th. While non-roster invitations give the Rockies a chance to look at highly touted prospects before the Minor League season, this group also includes players who could help the big squad beginning on Opening Day -- especially pitchers.

    MEDIA CLIPS –May 10, 2017 Remade Reynolds thriving with Rockies Slugger has improved his contact rate, retained power By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | @harding_at_mlb | May 9th, 2017 DENVER -- Rockies first baseman Mark Reynolds' opposite-way home run off the Cubs' Dylan Floro during Tuesday's 10-4 victory landed in the home bullpen Tuesday at Coors Field, and it fired up the way-back machine. That long ball gave Reynolds homers in four straight games heading into Tuesday's nightcap of a doubleheader against the Cubs, matching his career-best -- Aug. 6-9, 2012, with the D-backs. That streak ended in an 8-1 loss in the second game to the Cubs, as Reynolds went 0-for-1 with three walks. Just don't go thinking Reynolds is the same player now that he was then. This is the third year of the new Reynolds, who began reinventing himself when he joined the Cardinals in 2015 and found a mentor in the team's hitting coach, John Mabry. "Cliff's Notes? The easiest answer is keeping the barrel in the zone longer," Reynolds said. The old power is back. Reynolds, who eclipsed 30 homers three times and had 21 or more 2008-14, already has 12 this year. But he struck out a Major League-record 233 times in 2009, and led his league in that category 2008-11. 1 In 2015 with Mabry and the Cardinals, Reynolds hit .230 with 13 homers, but managed a .315 on-base percentage, which was his highest in three years. Last year with the Rockies brought a career-best .356 OBP.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2018 CLUB 2,500 On Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Angels, Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander tossed his fi rst complete-game shutout of the 2018 season with seven strikeouts and fi ve hits allowed. With his ninth inning punchout against rookie sensation Shohei Ohtani, the six-time All-Star became the 33rd pitcher in Major League history to reach the 2,500-strikeout plateau. CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees, who has logged 2,874 strikeouts entering play today, is the only other active pitcher to reach the milestone. Following his excellent outing yesterday, in which he fi red 7.2 innings of shutout ball with three punchouts, Texas Rangers hurler Bartolo Colon is the next-closest pitcher to the 2,500-strikeout club. The 21-year-veteran will go into his next start with 2,486 punchouts for his career. Verlander recorded his historic strikeout in his 395th career outing, becoming just the sixth pitcher in history to reach the milestone in fewer than 400 career games. The 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award-winner joined Hall of Famers Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Tom Seaver and Pedro Martínez, as well as Roger Clemens. Below is a table depicting each pitchers' cumulative stats at the time of their 2,500th career strikeout, sorted by fewest games needed: Pitcher Years IP G W-L H BB SO Randy Johnson 1988-99 2,108.0 313 152-83 1,625 991 2,500 Nolan Ryan 1966-78 2,286.1 338 143-134 1,559 1,480 2,500 Pedro Martinez 1992-2004 2,152.2 367 173-71 1,623 594 2,500 Roger Clemens 1984-96 2,695.0 373 186-109 2,297 868 2,500 Tom Seaver 1967-77 2,927.2 381 200-116 2,313 850 2,500 Justin Verlander 2005-18 2,613.2 395 193-116 2,277 812 2,500 Entering play today, three Astros pitchers pace the American League in ERA.
