Clips for 7-12-10 MEDIA CLIPS – September 3, 2015 Rox drop D-backs on CarGo's slam, 7 RBIs By Steve Gilbert and Dargan Southard / MLB.com | 2:41 AM ET DENVER -- Carlos Gonzalez launched a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh and a two-run homer in the eighth, propelling the Rockies to a 9-4 win over Arizona in Wednesday's series finale at Coors Field. "That's what we work for every day," Gonzalez said. "We work really hard to put up numbers to help this club win. I understand that when you're hitting third or fourth in the lineup, the situations are going to come to you." Trailing, 4-3, Colorado loaded the bases against Randall Delgado (5-4) on two singles and a walk before Gonzalez crushed his second grand slam this season. The seventh-inning long ball was projected by Statcast™ to land 458 feet away, and the eighth-inning long ball tied him with Nolan Arenado for the National League lead at 33. Arenado hit a two- run homer in the first, which gave him 100 RBIs on the season and supplied the Rockies with a 3-1 lead. "It's always fun," Arenado said of his back-and-forth homering with Gonzalez. "We're pulling for each other. That's the main thing. It's always cool to see your teammate be with you there at the top." But Arizona starter Chase Anderson settled in and did not allow another run through five as the D-backs clawed back against Rockies starter Jon Gray. They plated a single run in the second and briefly took a 4-3 lead in the sixth, using two doubles and an RBI fielder's choice to score a pair of runs. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Hammer down: Aggressiveness on the basepaths paid off for the D-backs in the sixth inning. Jake Lamb led off the frame by pushing the envelope on a hit to right and wound up just beating the throw to second for a double. Later, Chris Owings' steal of third base allowed him to score one batter later when Ender Inciarte hit into a fielder's choice. More > "It got us a big run right there," Owings said. Taking a good look: Gonzalez often gives his deeper home runs a good look, but Wednesday's was even more dramatic. After connecting with his go-ahead grand slam -- which bounced hard off the second-deck facade and ricocheted into the Rockies bullpen -- Gonzalez took a good five or six steps before running to first. One more homer this season and Gonzalez will have tied his career high, which was set in his near-MVP season of 2010. More > "He's been pretty locked in for a while now," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Gonzalez. "He can change the game at any time." Bullpen meltdown: After the D-backs took a 4-3 lead, Delgado tossed a scoreless sixth before running out of gas in the seventh and loading the bases with no outs. With veteran lefty Matt Reynolds unavailable, D-backs manager Chip Hale went to rookie Keith Hessler, who allowed Gonzalez's grand slam. 1 "Randall had the good first inning and then just seemed to tire out in the second inning -- they had put some good at-bats on him," Hale said. "We tried to use Hessler there to get the one lefty. It was just a one-hitter guy and just hung his breaking ball. He's going to have to get the ball down and hit his spots better." Clouds of Gray: In his sixth Major League start, Gray wasn't sharp from the beginning. He needed 25 pitches to get through the first inning, which included an 11-pitch battle with A.J. Pollock that resulted in Arizona's first run on a sacrifice fly. Although the D-backs only scored in three innings off Gray, they had at least one runner in scoring position in each of the first six frames. Arenado saved Gray in the fifth on a diving stop with a man on third but the D-backs finally broke through in the sixth off the young right-hander. Gray's 79 pitches were the second-most he's thrown this season, and he owns a 6.15 ERA so far. "It's been three weeks of straight battling," Gray said. "I think it's easier every time to deal with that, so I think mental toughness is really what you're getting out of those type of games." SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Brooks Brown (1-2) picked up his first Major League win, tossing 1 1/3 scoreless innings. Brown has battled right shoulder inflammation for much of the season, and Wednesday was his first appearance with the Rockies since June 16. Justin Miller also earned his first Major League save. REPLAY REVIEW The Rockies completed an impressive 2-5-4 double play in the second after video evidence showed that second baseman DJ LeMahieu held the first-base bag on Arenado's return throw and the call was overturned. Colorado, however, challenged again in the sixth and lost. Umpires originally ruled that Lamb didn't come off second base while being tagged during a slide after a leadoff double. The call stood after video evidence was reviewed. WHAT'S NEXT D-backs: The D-backs open a three-game series with the Cubs at 11:20 a.m. MST Friday at Wrigley Field. Zack Godley will be recalled from Double-A Mobile to start the game and face off against his former organization. Rockies: Colorado will open up a four-game series with the Giants on Thursday, beginning at 6:40 p.m. MT. The Rockies will give the ball to left-hander Chris Rusin, who gave up five runs (two earned) over 6 1/3 innings against San Francisco on June 27.

He had some paperwork that said Hessler threw an upper-90s fastball with a slider, but the resources were still limited. The Arizona left-hander chose to come with three straight sliders -- the last of which proved costly. Gonzalez went down and got the third breaking ball, crushing it off the second-deck façade in right field for a seventh-inning, go-ahead grand slam. Gonzalez tacked on a second homer in the eighth for good measure, helping propel the Rockies to a 9-4 win on Wednesday at Coors Field. "In that situation, I didn't want to get jammed," Gonzalez said. "I wanted to get the barrel out, and he decided to go with all sliders. I can't even say that it was down the middle. It was a good pitch, but I was able to throw my hands and put it in the seats." Wednesday was another chapter in Gonzalez's essentially three-month tear: He tied a career-high with seven RBIs and churned out his fifth multi-homer game this season. Since June 1, Gonzalez has 28 homers and 68 RBIs -- a long way from his early season struggles that had his batting average hovering around the .200 mark well into the year. "He was in a place where a lot of people were not thinking about CarGo doing any damage," said Nolan Arenado, whose first-inning homer gave him 100 RBIs on the season. "And now, he's had one of the best second halves I've ever seen." After Wednesday, Gonzalez and Arenado were tied for the National League homer lead at 33. Arenado acknowledged that Gonzalez hits more no-doubters between the two, citing the grand slam as a perfect example. The blast, which was projected by Statcast™ to land 458 feet away, cracked Gonzalez's top-5 longest homers this season. "He's one of the freaks in the league who can do something to wow you on any given night," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "He certainly did tonight."

After crushing a first-inning, two-run homer in Colorado's 9-4 win over the D-backs on Wednesday at Coors Field, Arenado became the first Rockies player with 100 RBIs since Troy Tulowitzki in 2011. That earned him a name-change. "Right now, he's Mr. Arenado," a laughing Carlos Gonzalez said. "He's got 100 RBIs. When you reach that milestone, you're not 'Arenado' anymore. You get the 'Mister' part." Arenado has certainly earned that this season. His breakout 2015 campaign has been littered with towering long balls and clutch RBIs, not to mention an endless highlight reel of defensive gems.

  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, November 5, 2018 * The Boston Globe Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Ian Kinsler win Gold Glove awards Peter Abraham Jackie Bradley Jr. didn’t need a Gold Glove to be recognized as one of the best center fielders in the major leagues. Red Sox fans have known that for several years. But Bradley certainly did deserve one and it finally came his away on Sunday night. Bradley, right fielder Mookie Betts, and second baseman Ian Kinsler were Gold Glove winners. The Red Sox and Atlanta Braves each had three. A finalist in 2014 and ’16, Bradley was selected ahead of Mike Trout (Angels) and Adam Engel (White Sox) in voting done by managers and coaches. Bradley was second among MLB center fielders with an 8.7 ultimate zone rating and tied for the American League lead with eight assists. There’s no statistic for improbable acrobatic catches but Bradley had a series of those. Betts won for the third consecutive year, the first Red Sox player to do that since Dwight Evans won five in a row from 1981-85. Betts is now one of seven Red Sox players to win three or more Gold Gloves. Betts led all right fielders with 20 defensive runs saved. He has 83 DRS the last three seasons. Kinsler, 36, is now a two-time winner. He also won with the Tigers in 2016. In 128 games for the Angels and Red Sox, Kinsler had 10 DRS, the most in the AL at second base. Andrew Benintendi (left field) and Mitch Moreland (first base) were finalists.
