Clips for 7-12-10 MEDIA CLIPS – APRIL 19, 2015 LeMahieu's homer not enough vs. streaking Dodgers By Ken Gurnick and Thomas Harding / MLB.com | 12:26 AM ET LOS ANGELES -- Torrid Adrian Gonzalez drove in three runs and Howie Kendrick had a pair of doubles as the Dodgers win streak reached six games with a 6-3 victory over the Rockies at Dodger Stadium Saturday night. More > Zack Greinke got the win, despite being chased with a two-run homer by DJ LeMahieu with two out in the top of the seventh inning. Since joining the Dodgers, Greinke is 6-1 against Colorado and 20-1 against the NL West, while the Dodgers are 43-20 in his starts. "He was typical Zack," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "He located, he changed speeds. He had a couple quick innings in the middle that kept his pitch count down. He got sick a couple days ago and we sent him home early yesterday." Rockies starting pitcher Jordan Lyles was charged with four runs in six innings, walking five. "Tonight was not good," Lyles said. "I cannot walk that many people." In addition to LeMahieu's homer, the Rockies scored in the first inning onCharlie Blackmon's leadoff double and Troy Tulowitzki's RBI single. But with spotty starting pitching, less-than-crisp overall play and reliever Brooks Brown giving up two seventh-inning runs -- the first off him since last Aug. 26 -- the Rockies didn't play well enough to beat Greinke. It was a similar story Friday in a 7-3 loss to the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw. "We've been playing extremely well defensively and our bullpen has been lights out," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It's not going to be like that 100 percent of the time. But we've got to play a little tighter to beat guys like Kershaw and Greinke." 1 MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Puig drama: Returning from a tight hamstring, Yasiel Puig flinched on a pair of check swings in the third inning, singled to load the bases, went hard into second base trying to break up a double play, with the resulting bounced relay by LeMahieu allowing the tiebreaking run to score. Puig also misread Gonzalez's bases-loaded fly to the warning track in the fifth, advancing only to second and reducing a sure double into a single. When the inning ended, Gonzalez appeared to be lecturing Puig on baserunning basics. More > Had their shot: The Rockies' Blackmon doubled to open the game, and scored on Tulowitzki's one-out single. Greinke hit Justin Morneau, but escaped the jam by forcing Nolan Arenado into a double-play grounder. Putting out all fires: The Dodgers' bullpen held Colorado scoreless in the final 2 1/3 innings and has allowed only one earned run in 17 1/3 innings this season. Joel Peralta pitched the ninth inning for his third save. His career high is six in 2011. Glove man with a big bat: LeMahieu, who has a solid defensive reputation, awakened the Rockies by swatting a two-run homer into the left-field bleachers with two out in the seventh. LeMahieu has hit safely in all but one of the team's first 11 games. At the time of LeMahieu's homer, the Rockies were 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position. More > "I knew I was probably his last batter, and I didn't want him to leave the game having a good taste in his mouth -- that's really all I was thinking," LeMahieu said. QUOTABLE "The most important inning of the game was the shutdown inning after the home run [LeMahieu] hit to pull the game within one. To give up two is the last thing you want. It kills momentum." -- Brown after his difficult seventh inning "I haven't seen the same amount of dew on the [dugout] railing, haven't felt the same type of moisture as the game goes on. I don't know what it is, but the ball is carrying. I'll let you guys figure it out." -- Mattingly on the increase in home runs at Dodger Stadium SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Lyles entered having forced ground balls for 56.8 percent of his outs, but Saturday he had more outs in the air (seven) than on the ground (six). Brown had held lefty hitters to a .111 batting average this year before he fell behind the switch-hitting Rollins and gave up his leadoff double in the seventh. 2 WHAT'S NEXT Righty Eddie Butler has struggled with walks but not with runs. He has 10 walks to six strikeouts, but is 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA and the Rockies have won both of his starts going into Sunday afternoon's series finale with the Dodgers at 1:10 p.m. PT/2:10 p.m. MT. Butler will be opposed by Brandon McCarthy, who's coming off his unusual 10-strikeout, four- homer start in Arizona. The Dodgers are hoping for the return of Carl Crawford, who missed Saturday night's start with a stomach illness. 3 LeMahieu off to hot start, but regrets missed opportunities Rockies' second baseman hits homer, but commits defensive miscue By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | @harding_at_mlb | April 18, 2015 LOS ANGELES -- Any successful player known for his cool-headedness has a fire that folks overlook. DJ LeMahieu used his to burn Dodgers star pitcher Zack Greinke for a seventh-inning, two-run homer in the Rockies' 6-3 loss Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. "I knew I was probably his last batter, and I didn't want him to leave the game having a good taste in his mouth -- that's really all I was thinking," said LeMahieu, who, with the homer, has hit safely in 10 of the team's 11 games. But LeMahieu went home with the bitterness of knowing a rare miscue was potentially costly. One of the game's premier second basemen, he bounced a throw that cost the Rockies a third-inning double play that might have made the night easier, maybe even made victory possible. The Dodgers loaded the bases with one out against struggling starter Jordan Lyles, who was having difficulty forcing ground balls -- his M.O. He got one from Adrian Gonzalez, but LeMahieu bounced the relay throw and first baseman Justin Morneau couldn't make the backhand scoop. The resulting run gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead and the Rockies never caught them. "We've got to play good, clean baseball to win on the road," LeMahieu said. "It helps a lot if we can get out of the inning. It happens. You move on. Hopefully next time in that situation -- we turn that 99 out of 100 times -- so we'll get them next time." LeMahieu, who has a .463 batting average, wasn't the only Rockies player who left feeling he could have done a little more to win the game. Lyles left trailing just 4-3, thanks to LeMahieu's homer, but he walked five in six innings. In the seventh, dependable righty reliever Brooks Brown gave up the first two runs off him since Aug. 26. Offensively, the Rockies were 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position. The hits were Troy Tulowitzki's first-inning RBI single, after Charlie Blackmon's double, and LeMahieu's homer three batters after Nolan Arenado's double. Another clutch hit or two against Greinke could have made a difference. After winning their first six road games, the Rockies have dropped the first two at Dodger Stadium.. The Rockies are five games into a stretch of 25 games in the National League West. LeMahieu realizes he and his mates must be consistently clutch, even if the opposing pitchers are as decorated as Clayton Kershaw and Greinke. "We battled, we had some opportunities," LeMahieu said. "Going forward, we're going to face these guys multiple times this year. We'll be ready." 4 Blackmon trying to go deeper into counts this season Rockies leadoff hitter is hoping new approach will help teammates By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | @harding_at_mlb | April 18, 2015 LOS ANGELES -- Rockies leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon is seeing more pitches this year, hoping it will be beneficial to his teammates. Through the first 10 games going into his start Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, Blackmon saw 4.13 pitches per plate appearance, an increase over the 3.58 average he saw last year -- his first in the top spot in the order. Blackmon entered Saturday hitting .263 with a .350 on-base percentage. The batting average was below his career pace, but the OBP is significantly above the .335 he managed last year and his .330 career number. "I started trying to see a few more pitches in Spring Training," Blackmon said. "I'm better deep in the count. It's better for the team to go deeper in the count. As a leadoff hitter you give your guys more chance to see the other pitcher's arsenal, and maybe earn a walk here or there." Blackmon is a .330 career hitter ahead in the count and a .304 hitter with the count even. Laying off first pitches is helping. Just 11.1 percent of first pitches to him have been strikes -- a fact likely attributable to the power he displayed last season (19 home runs, .440 slugging percentage). Blackmon is not bad with the count full. Friday night's full-count, two-run home run off the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw was just his second homer at 3-2, but he's a .402 hitter with that count.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – July 18, 2017 Rox seek 3rd straight win in Senzatela's return By Max Gelman / MLB.com | 9:36 AM ET Antonio Senzatela's demotion to Triple-A Albuquerque was short-lived, as the young right-hander will make his return for the Rockies on Tuesday to start against the Padres and Dinelson Lamet. Colorado has won back-to-back games for the first time since a six-game streak from June 14-20. Senzatela will be making his first MLB start since June 22 when he gave up nine runs in five innings to the D-backs. He made two relief appearances following that outing and was then optioned to Albuquerque for a start. He threw 3 1/3 innings for the Isotopes on July 13 and gave up one run on four hits. While in the bullpen, Senzatela's fastball velocity jumped. His fastball averaged 94 mph in June, but in relief, it averaged 95.3 mph. "I got to see the game from a different view," Senzatela said of his relief outings. "It taught me to go in, be more aggressive and finish the hitter real quick. I worked quick, and I felt good. I looked to get out there hitter in two or three pitches -- dominate." For the Padres, Lamet will make his first career start against the Rockies. The young righty has a 5.93 ERA in 41 innings. 1 It's been all or nothing for Lamet through his first eight big league starts. The rookie has a legit three-pitch mix, and all three project as Major League-caliber out pitches.

  • On the Field at Kauffman Stadium Before the May 13Th Game Between
    On the field at Kauffman Stadium before the May 13th game between the Kansas City Royals and Colorado Rockies I was looking for Rene Lachemann to tell him that one of his former teammates wanted to see him. But Rene was not around, so I began asking different Rockies players and staff if they had seen Mr. Lachemann. All of them responded with the same reply, “You will hear him before you see him.” Soon it was discovered what they meant as the bench coach of the Rockies made his way up from under the stadium where he had been working with one of the catchers, and his booming voice could be heard. This voice has been heard by many major league and minor league players for many years as Rene Lachemann has managed and coached and trained these players in the finer points of the game. Rene was born in Los Angeles California and is the youngest of three brothers to have long careers in professional baseball.
