Rua Homer Extends Rangers' Streak to 9 SPORTS SATURDAY, MAY 20, 2017 Rua homer extends Rangers’ streak to 9 ARLINGTON: Ryan Rua hit a tiebreaking three- run homer in the fifth inning and the Texas Rangers stretched their MLB-best winning streak to nine games with an 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. The Rangers swept through an eight-game homestand against three teams, only the second time in franchise history they’ve done that. Their overall winning streak, which started with an 11-0 victo- ry at San Diego on May 9, is the longest in the majors this season. Philadelphia led 2-0 before Robinson Chirinos and Rougned Odor had con- secutive two-out RBI singles off reliever Joely Rodriguez (1-2) in the fifth. Rua followed with his third homer, lining a shot that just cleared the 8- foot wall in right field. Martin Perez (2-5) struck out eight with no walks in seven innings. ROCKIES 5, TWINS 1, 1ST GAME TWINS 2, ROCKIES 0, 2ND GAME Jose Berrios allowed two hits and struck out 11 over 7 2/3 innings as the Minnesota Twins beat the Colorado Rockies and salvaged a split of an interleague doubleheader between the first-place teams in the AL Central and NL West.

Brandon Kintzler worked a scoreless ninth for his 11th save in 12 chances. The Twins got RBI singles from Max Kepler in the first inning and Robbie Grossman in the fourth. They were two of five hits allowed by Tyler Chatwood (3-6), who also walked five and struck out four in five innings.

Nikki Haley during a three-hour service that was alternately somber and then punctu- ated by joyous singing. Friday was the anniversary of the shooting deaths of nine black parishio- HALEY ners during a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church. A white man, Dylann Roof, faces charges in both state and fed- eral courts and prosecutors in each are seeking the death penalty. Haley, who attended the fu- nerals of all the victims, said she got to know the families of both those who were killed and the three survivors in the days and weeks after the shootings. “There hasn’t been a day since June 17, 2015 that I haven’t thought about the 12,” RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM she said.

    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.
