Jean Seguras RBI groundout in the seventh increased

DENVER — Giancarlo Stanton is breaking records at Coors Field. Torrey Smith Jersey . He also might be breaking windshields. Stanton homered for the sixth straight game at Coors Field and the Miami Marlins held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5 Saturday night. Nathan Eovaldi pitched effectively into the seventh inning and Bryan Petersen had three hits for the Marlins. Jose Reyes and Gorkys Hernandez added two hits each. The Marlins said Stanton became the first player in major league history to homer in his first six games in a particular park, according to information provided to the team by the Elias Sports Bureau. “I thought I was just going for here,” Stanton said of the record. “Thats pretty cool. Anytime you do something no ones ever done in the big leagues its something pretty cool.” His drive Saturday travelled an estimated 448 feet, and combined with Fridays shot to centre he has covered approximately 920 feet on his last two homers at Coors Field. He tied the game Friday with his 474-foot homer. He capped a four-run first inning Saturday with a three-run shot onto the concourse in left field. It bounced into the Rockies players parking lot, which brought up the possibility of his blast damaging a car. “Hopefully not, but if there is Im not paying for it,” he said. It was Stantons 24th of the season gave the Marlins a 4-0 lead against Tyler Chatwood (3-3). Reyes made it 6-0 in the second with a two-run triple down the left-field line. “The two big pitches I messed up on were the two to Reyes,” Chatwood said. “(The one to Stanton) was actually a good pitch and off the plate. He put a pretty good swing on it.” Stanton was ready for an inside pitch, and when he saw the 95 mph fastball, he jumped on it. “I knew he was going to come in to get the double play or not let me get extended with guys on first and second and less than two outs,” he said. “He came up and in first pitch, so I figured he was going to repeat it.” Eovaldi (4-8) didnt give up a hit until Michael Cuddyers single in the fourth. He allowed one run on six hits, walked four and struck out three in 6 2-3 innings. He left after giving up a two-out single to Rutledge and a walk to Fowler. Chad Gaudin came on and got Cuddyer to ground out to end the seventh. It was Eovaldis longest outing since May 29 when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. “This kid only needs to throw strikes,” Miami manager Ozzie Guillen said. “Hes got a great arm. Hes got a good idea of what he wants to do. Its a process.” He also got some defensive help when Stanton made a diving catch on Jordan Pachecos liner into right to save a run. “I paused, took maybe a half-step in. I didnt get the best read on it but I tracked it down and snagged it,” he said. “Its what helps win games, the little things.” Tyler Colvin had three hits and three RBIs while Josh Rutledge and Dexter Fowler added two hits apiece for the Rockies. Colorado chipped away and nearly came all the way back. Colvin hit an RBI double in the fourth before Pacheco had an RBI double and Chris Nelson a sacrifice fly in the eighth to make it 6-3. Colorado cut it to one on Colvins two-run single in the ninth before Steve Cishek got Pacheco to ground out for his ninth save. “I kick myself for the seventh when Wilin (Rosario) led off with a double and I didnt do my job,” Colvin said. “Were always going to battle back.” Cuddyer left the game in the eighth after aggravating his right oblique, an injury that cost him 11 games earlier this month. “Its most likely a DL situation,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. Chatwood allowed six runs and nine hits in four innings. NOTES: The Rockies placed OF Carlos Gonzalez on the bereavement list due to the death of his grandfather in Venezuela.

MILWAUKEE — Despite watching his team lose its third straight game on Tuesday night, Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker was feeling confident it was only a temporary setback for his NL Central-leading team. Thats because the Reds ran into a hot pitcher in Mike Fiers of the Milwaukee Brewers and Baker knew there was not much his hitters could do against him. Fiers took a perfect game into the seventh inning to lead the Brewers to a 3-1 win over the Reds. The Reds have lost three straight for the first time since July 2-5, but still lead the NL Central by 3 1-2 games over second-place Pittsburgh. “The problem was their pitcher,” Baker said. “He pitched a great game. Thats one of the best games pitched against us in a long time.” Baker said he was confident his team could quickly turn it around. Before its current losing streak, the Reds had won 22 of 25 games. “Well get it together and make another nice run,” he said. Johnny Cueto (14-6) pitched seven innings for the Reds, giving up three runs and six hits while striking out nine. He was trying to become the first NL pitcher to reach 15 wins this season. “Youve got to give him (Fiers) credit,” Cueto said through an interpreter. “I pitched well, but it went in his favour tonight.” Fiers (6-4) retired the first 18 batters before Zack Cozart doubled to left-centre leading off the seventh. He advanced to third on a fly ball and scored on Brandon Phillips sacrifice fly. “The pitch I hit was a cutter,” Cozart said. “He had his stuff working tonight. Just when you thought youd get a fastball, hed throw you something else.” The only other hits Fiers gave up were eighth-inning singles to Xavier Paul and Ryan Hanigan. The right-hander struck out pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick to get out of the inning and left the field to a standing ovation. Fiers said he was aware he was throwing a no-hitter, but stayed focus as his team was only leading by two runs at the time. “Every start I go out there I dont want to give up a hit, but when it got into the sixth and seventh inning, thoughts came into my mind even more,” he said. “Im just trying to put zeroes on the board, no matter if they get 10 hits or zero hits. I just tried to keep my cool and not think about it.” The Brewers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first inning on Aramis Ramirezs 15th home run, a 425-foot shot to the Milwaukee bullpen in left-centre. It was the second consecutive game in which Ramirez hit a home run against the Reds. Jean Seguras RBI groundout in the seventh increased the lead to 3-1. It was Seguras first career RBI. Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke has seen enough of what pitcher Mike Fiers has done for his team this season that he is ready to start promoting him for NL Rookie of the Year. Fiers was very impressive again Tuesday night as he took a perfect game into the seventh inning and led the Brewers to a 3-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Fiers (6-4) retired the first 18 batters before Zack Cozart doubled to left-centre leading off the seventh. He advanced to third on a fly ball and scored on Brandon Phillips sacrifice flyy. Jacoby Jones Elite Jersey. The only other hits Fiers gave up were eighth-inning singles to Xavier Paul and Ryan Hanigan. The right-hander struck out pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick to get out of the inning and left the field to a standing ovation. “He pitched an outstanding ball game,” Roenicke said. “Absolutely, he has to be put in that conversation (for Rookie of the Year). Hes been baffling hitters. And not just average hitters, hes been doing it against some very strong lineups.” Fiers said he was aware he was throwing a no-hitter, but stayed focus as his team was only leading by two runs at the time. “Every start I go out there I dont want to give up a hit, but when it got into the sixth and seventh inning, thoughts came into my mind even more,” he said. “Im just trying to put zeroes on the board, no matter if they get 10 hits or zero hits. I just tried to keep my cool and not think about it.” Fiers said he thought he threw a good pitch to Cozart, but the Reds shortstop went out and got the pitch. “He got the barrel on it and he hit it in a good spot,” he said. “I felt great out there.” Fiers has been terrific since he was called up from Triple-A Nashville on May 29. He hasnt allowed more than two runs in any of his last nine starts, going 5-2 with a 1.03 ERA and racking up 61 strikeouts in 61 innings. Roenicke said it was time for everyone to realize that Fiers could pitch in the major leagues. “I think hes shown he can pitch,” he said. “Hes a battler. He baffles guys with all the different stuff he throws.” Jim Henderson, from Calgary, pitched a scoreless ninth for his first career save. It was Milwaukees second consecutive win over the NL Central leaders and its fifth straight victory at home. The Reds have lost three straight for the first time since July 2-5. They remained 3 1-2 games ahead of second-place Pittsburgh. Reds manager Dusty Baker said the problem for Cincinnati was Fiers. “Thats one of the best games pitched against us in a long time,” Baker said. “Theres not a lot we could do. Hes very deceptive with that Tim Lincecum-like delivery.” Johnny Cueto (14-6) pitched seven innings for the Reds, giving up three runs and six hits while striking out nine. He was trying to become the first NL pitcher to reach 15 wins this season. The Brewers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first inning on Aramis Ramirezs 15th home run, a 425-foot shot to the Milwaukee bullpen in left-centre. It was the second consecutive game in which Ramirez homered against the Reds. Jean Seguras RBI groundout in the seventh increased the lead to 3-1. It was Seguras first career RBI. NOTES: Baker said 1B Joey Votto would not be activated from the DL on the teams current seven-game road trip, which ends Sunday in Chicago. Votto had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on July 17. … Brewers RHP Shaun Marcum, on the DL since June 15 with right elbow tightness, will make a rehabilitation start Thursday with Class-A Wisconsin. … The series concludes Wednesday when the Reds send Mat Latos (10-3) to the mound against Randy Wolf (3-8). ‘ ‘ ‘
