DENVER (AP) — After getting swept in Los Angeles Jim Thome Jersey , Colorado dropped 2½ games behind the Dodgers and had an off day before three games in Arizona.

The West champion meets Atlanta in the Division Series, and the Central champion plays the wild-card game winner.Jose Bautista and Carlos Santana homered for the Phillies, outscored 39-7 in the series. Philadelphia (78-81), which struck out 14 times for the second day in a row, has lost a season-high eight straight and has gone 15-33 since moving a season-high 15 games over .500 on Aug. 5. The Phillies are assured their seventh straight season without a winning record http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-scott-kingery-jersey , their most since 1994-2000.“I do not think that our team has quit on the season or quit in general,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “Today was pretty good evidence that we still have some fight in us. Had baserunners late. Looked like it was going to be a game that might get out of hand early. We never allowed it to get out of hand.”Scott Oberg (8-1) pitched 1 1/3 hitless innings in relief of Antonio Senzatela, who allowed one run and five hits in 4 2.3 innings.

He had a 3.96 ERA, his highest since 2013, in his first season with the Phillies after agreeing to a $75 million, three-year contract on March 12, a month into spring training.“Everyone will talk about this season as a failure, but I don’t look at it that way,” Arrieta said. “It’s unfortunate the way we’ve played the last couple of months. But if you view it as a failure Odubel Herrera Jersey , how does that bode well for us moving forward if we just look at it as we all failed? I think this was a success for us in a lot of areas and in some other areas not as much.“Moving forward we know we don’t want to continue to feel like this again. We know that we want to continue to play into October and we didn’t make that happen.”Dahl hit his 14th home run in the first and Story hit his 35th in a two-run second that also included a run-scoring wild pitch that followed Andrew Knapp’s passed ball.Bautista homered in the third, but the Rockies opened a 5-1 lead in the seventh when Parra homered as a pinch hitter and Dahl tripled.“I think the ball actually might have hit me in the chest if I took it,” Dahl said of the pitch from reliever Tommy Hunter. “Fortunate enough to find some barrel and get the runner in.”Dahl tied teammate Nolan Arenado with home runs in four consecutive games. Arenado also did it from June 19-22.Santana hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Adam Ottavino, who walked Dylan Cozens and struck out his next three batters.RECORD SAVEDavis set a franchise record for saves in a season, surpassing Greg Holland (2017) and Jose Jimenez (2002).TRAINER’S ROOMRockies: LHP Tyler Anderson is to throw a bullpen session Friday to determine whether he will be available Sunday as the starter or to come in as a reliever.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Mark Trumbo could have looked around the diamond at his Orioles teammates and wondered, “Who are these guys?”With veterans Adam Jones and Chris Davis out of the starting lineup, Trumbo alone represented experience on a young, struggling team.The slugger homered twice and drove in five runs, and Baltimore beat the Texas Rangers 9-6 in a back-and-forth game Sunday to avoid a four-game sweep.“There’s a few of us guys that have been around a little longer than most http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-jorge-alfaro-jersey ,” Trumbo said. “The production comes and goes, but the mindset is the big thing, and I think these guys are doing a good job.”Entering the series, Trumbo hadn’t gone deep since July 9. He completed the four games 7 for 16 with three homers and nine RBIs as Baltimore totaled 21 runs.Austin Wynns and Jonathan Villar also homered for the Orioles.Trumbo singled home a run in the first inning. His two-run homer in the third put Baltimore ahead to stay at 6-5 against starter Drew Hutchison (1-2), who was making his Rangers debut.“Just pitch execution, poor command, too many balls up in the zone,” Hutchison said. “When you do things like that, those are the results that you’re going to have.”Both of Trumbo’s homers came with two strikes.“I’ve been getting to two strikes a lot lately and still getting some hits,” he said. “I hit a changeup (from Hutchison), and I put some good wood on it.”The teams had scored in every half-inning before that, with the lead changing hands in four of those.Trumbo left the game after his two-run homer against Matt Moore in the seventh.“(Trumbo) almost didn’t play today Josh Bell Jersey ,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter. “His knee’s been a little sore.

Showalter said, “He’s banged up a little bit.
