Clips for 7-12-10 MEDIA CLIPS – September 19, 2016 5-run 4th leads Rockies to sweep of Padres By Ben Weinrib and A.J. Cassavell / MLB.com | September 18th, 2016 DENVER -- Mark Reynolds led the way for the Rockies' five-run, fourth-inning rally but saw his season come to an end the next inning when he was hit by a pitch in the Rockies 6-3 win over the Padres, at Coors Field on Sunday. The win secured the Rockies' first sweep of the Padres since Aug. 5-7, 2014, and gave them the season series 10-9. The Rockies couldn't manage much off San Diego starter Jarred Cosart until the fourth, which ended his night when they hit around. Reynolds' 14th homer of the season knocked in David Dahl, who doubled to left center. After Tony Wolters singled to center, Cosart walked three batters, including DJ LeMahieu, who extended his career-best on-base streak to 34 games. Reliever Jose Dominguezcouldn't stop the bleeding, giving up a single to Carlos Gonzalez, which knocked in two more runs. "I thought we did a good job working some at-bats," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We didn't expand for them and bail them out. Cosart, I felt like, was throwing the ball really well. He got himself into some trouble with some walks, but his stuff was good and crisp. I thought we did a good job offensively. We've done a nice job in that aspect of the game, grinding out at-bats and make pitchers earn everything they get." Reynolds suffered a broken hand during a fifth-inning at-bat when he was struck by a Dominguez pitch. He had just returned on Aug. 31 from a broken hamate bone in the same hand that required surgery. 1 "It's tough," Reynolds said. "I had never broken a bone in my life, and I had two this year in the same hand. It's tough, but I'm going to get it better and get ready for next year." Chad Bettis earned his team-leading 13th win of the season -- the Rockies have won 15 of his last 18 starts -- by holding the Padres to three runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings. Adam Rosales homered in the second for San Diego, and Wil Myers drove in two more on a sixth-inning double. But the Padres managed just two baserunners against Chris Rusin, Boone Logan and Adam Ottavino, who earned his fifth save of the season. "I still feel like the majority of this series we just weren't on the fastball," Padres manager Andy Green said. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Rockies turn to Rusin: Since being moved to the bullpen, Rusin has been mostly used in mopup situations when the starter left early. However, Weiss turned to the left-hander to protect a three-run lead with one out and runners on the corners in the sixth and left him in for another inning. Rusin has six straight scoreless outings. "Rusin's been really good," Weiss said. "He's been a bit of a pleasant surprise here lately. He's coming in in a different role than we've used him in before that he's not necessarily accustomed to. He's been very effective. He's got a lot of big outs for us in the past few weeks." Moving tribute: After his second-inning homer, Rosales honored teammateYangervis Solarte, whose wife died Saturday after complications from her fight with cancer. Solarte -- who left the team Friday to be with his family -- does an overhand clap before skipping onto the plate after each home run. Rosales did just that after his shot on Sunday. "Right when I hit it, I knew it was gone," Rosales said. "I went around first base, I thought about Yuliett and [Yangervis] the whole time. It was just a tribute. I feel like it would mean a lot to Solarte to know how much he means to us, how much his family means to the San Diego Padres." Ottavino overcomes lefties: Ottavino's save was routine with only one baserunner put aboard, but he did especially well, considering three of the four batters faced were left-handed. Coming into the game, lefties were hitting .281 against him with a .410 on-base percentage, while he limited right-handers to a .118 average. 2 "It's just command," Ottavino said. "I've had trouble throwing certain pitches to lefties. I think it's because of the visual. So I tried to switch some things up today, throw some different options I've been working on that allowed me to stay in the zone better and get in good counts. When I go ball one, ball two to a lefty, that's when I get in trouble." Cosart comes undone: The Dahl double preceding Reynolds' homer was the turning point in Cosart's outing. The right- hander had thrown three scoreless frames to start his day, before giving up a blooper that dropped in front of left fielder Alex Dickerson. Things came unraveled from there. "I've just got to find a way to minimize damage," Cosart said. "A lot of that is going to be slowing down the game. Hits like that are going to happen. I was pretty upset about it, it was probably visible. But you've got to block that stuff out." Wil power: Myers cut into the Rockies' lead with his two-run double in the sixth inning. Ryan Schimpf followed with a single, as the Padres brought the tying run to the plate. But Rusin whiffed Brett Wallace before getting catcher Hector Sanchezto bounce to short. QUOTABLE "I think the only person who had faced him before was Parra. You get one at-bat against him, and you kind of see how his pitches are moving and what he's trying to do, and I know my first at-bat, I just missed a curveball. It kind of gives you that reassurance in your mind that the pitch is going to do when he throws it. Right there, I was able to get out front of it." - - Reynolds, on his home run off Cosart SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Bettis drew walks during plate appearances in the fourth and fifth innings, which is the 12th time in franchise history that a pitcher has walked twice in a game. Juan Nicasio was the last pitcher to do so, drawing two walks against the Giants on April 9, 2013. "Any time the pitcher is contributing offensively it means a lot," Weiss said. "A lot of times, that can be the difference in the game. You turn that lineup over and then all of a sudden, you have a big inning because a pitcher drew a walk or he got a single or just gave you a good, productive at-bat. We talk about that a lot, how important it is for the pitchers to be involved, and a couple walks by Chad today were big." 3 WHAT'S NEXT Padres: The Friars open a three-game set against the D-backs Monday withClayton Richard on the hill. First pitch is slated for 7:10 p.m. PT. In six starts since joining the Padres rotation, Richard has allowed only six earned runs, and he's been especially adept at keeping the ball on the ground, with an MLB-best 66 percent ground-ball rate over the last 30 days. Rockies: Rookie left-hander Tyler Anderson will get the call as the Rockies open a three-game series against the Cardinals on Monday at 6:40 p.m. MT. Before giving up six runs over 4 1/3 innings in his last start, he limited opponents to four total runs over his previous three starts. 4 Reynolds out for season with broken left hand Rockies slugger was hit by pitch in fifth inning By Ben Weinrib / MLB.com | September 18th, 2016 DENVER -- Rockies first baseman Mark Reynolds will miss the rest of the season with a fractured left hand after Padres reliever Jose Dominguez hit him in the fifth inning of Sunday's 6-3 win. Reynolds had returned from the 15-day disabled list on Aug. 31 from a fractured hamate bone in the same hand that required surgery. The recovery was supposed to take six to eight weeks, but Reynolds returned in 20 days. "It hurt," Reynolds said. "I have been hit in my hand a lot before, and I had never felt this kind of pain. Right when we went in for the X-rays -- I don't have a radiology degree by any means -- but I could see that it was broken." Reynolds will be re-evaluated on Monday by Dr. Jennifer Kummer at Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Denver. He said that Kummer did not think the injury would require surgery, but that the recover is six weeks in a cast whether or not he goes under the knife. Before the injury, Reynolds sparked a five-run fourth inning with a two-run homer to left field. He was replaced by pinch runner Gerardo Parra -- who came around to score that inning -- and remained at first base. The Rockies signed Reynolds as a free agent last winter on a one-year, $2.6 million deal, and he quickly took over as the team's starting first baseman. He slashed .281/.354/.442 with 14 home runs -- one more than his career low in 10 Major League seasons. Reynolds was 9-for-32 with two homers, a double, and four walks in 12 games since coming back from the injury, seven of which he started.

    Contact: Abrielle Swisher Gordon C. James Public Relations Office: (602) 274-1988 Cell: (602) 370-5557 MLB Players Partner with Fans to Strike Out Poverty Across Globe Nine Players Combine Efforts to Bring Drinking Water and Crisis Relief to Hardest Places PHOENIX, AZ (March 28, 2019) – For many across the world, access to some of life’s most basic needs, like clean water and a nutritious meal, can be near impossible to come by. With that in mind, Major League Baseball (MLB) players have teamed up with Food for the Hungry (FH), a global humanitarian organization serving the vulnerable in over 20 countries, to raise money through the Striking Out Poverty campaign, in an effort to meet the most urgent needs in some of the poorest communities in the world. As the 2019 MLB season kicks off, nine players from four different MLB teams have committed to a variety of Striking Out Poverty projects and encourage fans to support them throughout the season to raise the necessary funds to meet their goals. These projects range from providing medical care to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, building school classrooms and providing clean water in Rwanda, providing emergency response to the current crisis in Venezuela and building baseball fields and implementing additional water filtration systems in the Dominican Republic. “Opening day doesn’t just mark the first day of the baseball season—it also marks the beginning of new hope for so many underserved communities,” says Milam Byers, Director of Sports Partnerships at Food for the Hungry. “We are excited to embark on our third year of changing lives, providing resources and looking past the scoreboard with the help of these players and their fans.” Baseball fans can support these projects and their favorite players by visiting www.pledgeit.org/team/sop-2019 or www.bigleagueimpact.org and clicking on the player’s picture to pledge for home runs, base steals, and learn more.

    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.
