DENVER -- The San Diego Padres will be trying to win a season-high fourth straight contest and left-hander Christian Friedrich will be seeking another win against the Colorado Rockies on Friday when the clubs begin a three-game series.The Padres have won four of their past five contests after a three-game sweep at San Francisco. It was San Diegos second series sweep of the season; the other was July 15-17 against the Giants. That was also the last time the Padres won three straight.Colorado will be trying to regroup after a dismal series at Arizona.The Diamondbacks swept three games from the Rockies and outscored them 34-19. During the sweep, which was Arizonas first at Chase Field this year, Rockies pitchers yielded four or more runs in an inning five times and a total of 50 hits, including 10 home runs. The Colorado starters allowed 25 hits and had a 10.22 ERA while working just 12 1/3 innings. The relievers also allowed 25 hits and had an 11.57 ERA in 11 2/3 innings.Those three ugly losses left the Rockies 2-5 on a trip that began in San Diego when the Rockies and Padres split a four-game series.Its important to get to the finish line the right way, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.Charlie Blackmon hit four homers on the seven-game trip and went 7-for-13 in the series at Arizona with blasts in the final two games. Blackmon is hitting .319 with career-highs in homers (27), RBI (73) and runs scored (101).Its not as though Coors Field has propped up Blackmons production. Indeed, he is hitting .318 with 10 homers, 41 RBI and an .889 OPS in 239 at-bats at home and .320 with 17 homers, 32 RBI and a .967 OPS in 272 at-bats on the road.Hes done a lot of damage on the road, Weiss said. Its good to see, because I think it gives him even more credibility on a national level. Hes turned into a big-time player.Friedrich, who was Colorados first-round draft pick in 2008, will make his second consecutive start against his former team. The Rockies moved him to the bullpen in 2014 and released him after last season when he pitched entirely in relief.In two starts against the Rockies this season, Friedrich is 1-0 and has allowed one unearned run and four hits in 13 innings with four walks and 19 strikeouts.At Coors Field on June 12, Friedrich gave up two hits and one unearned run in six innings. He left trailing 1-0, but the Padres tied the game in the seventh before dropping a 2-1 decision.In the Padres 6-3 victory Saturday at San Diego, Freidrich, who is 5-10 with a 4.67 ERA, gave up two hits in seven scoreless innings with one walk and a career-high tying 10 strikeouts to win for the first time in 12 starts since June 23.Shortstop Luis Sardinas, 23, has seized the opportunity to play every day since the Padres acquired him from Seattle for cash considerations on Aug. 15.In 32 games and 77 plate appearances with the Mariners, Sardinas hit .181/.203/.264. In the three-game sweep of the Giants, Sardinas went 7-for-14 with one triple, two RBI and four runs scored and extended his hitting streak to six games. In 21 games and 76 plate appearances with the Padres, he is hitting .328/.400/.463You want to be a shortstop in the major leagues for a long period of time, theres more work out in front of him, San Diego manager Andy Green said. But hes embracing that. Hes playing hard, aggressive, every day. Hes doing things on the bases, swinging the bat well. Theres definitely still more work out for him.The Padres lead the season series 9-7, and the teams have split six games at Coors Field.Tyler Chatwood, who is 11-9 with a 3.82 ERA in 24 starts and 4-8 with a 5.67 ERA in 13 starts at Coors Field this season, will start for the Rockies. He will face the Padres for the second consecutive start.In his second start since returning from the disabled list with a mid-back strain, Chatwood broke a three-game losing streak, limiting the Padres to one run and five hits in 6 2/3 innings in a 4-1 win on Friday.Chatwood is 4-0 lifetime time with a 3.18 ERA in eight games, six starts, against San Diego. This season, Chatwood is 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA in three starts against the Padres.In his lone start against them this season at Coors Field on June 11, Chatwood gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings and won 5-3.Air Max 97 Nere Scontate .

After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times. DENVER -- Carlos Gonzalez homered and drove in two runs, Jorge De La Rosa pitched effectively into the sixth and the Colorado Rockies beat Arizona 4-1 on Wednesday to take two of three from the Diamondbacks. Dexter Fowler had two hits in his first start in the cleanup spot and Nolan Arenado added an RBI double as the Rockies caught Arizona in the standings. The Diamondbacks entered the day tied with San Francisco for first in the NL West. De La Rosa (6-3) kept up his mastery against Arizona at Coors Field, improving to 8-0 with a 1.38 ERA. He struck out five and allowed six hits in 5 1-3 innings. Relievers Edgmer Escalona and Matt Belisle bottled up Arizona to get the ball to Rex Brothers, who closed the ninth with Rafael Betancourt sidelined by a groin injury. It was Brothers first save of the season. Trevor Cahill (3-5) didnt have his best stuff early, but found his groove and made it through six innings, allowing four runs. Cahill has allowed four earned runs or fewer in 28 straight starts, which is the longest active streak in the majors. Gonzalez hit Cahill hard all afternoon, giving the Rockies an early lead when he sent a fastball over the right-field wall in the first. The player nicknamed CarGo drove in another run with a triple two innings later. Manager Walt Weiss went with a rather unorthodox lineup, moving the speedy Fowler from his usual leadoff spot to cleanup. Weiss figured he would give Fowler a chance with Troy Tulowitzki receiving a rest day. Fowler finished 2 for 4 with a double and scored a run. There was some drama in the sixth when Fowler sent a high fly to right that appeared to hit off the wall in fair territory. But first base umpire Doug Eddings ruled it foul, which brought Weiss out to discuss the call. The umpires briefly huddled on the field and headed in to look at the play, even though the hit in question didnt appear to be a home run (only home runs can be reviewed). Television replays confirmed that Eddings made the correct call as a distinctive white mark was left on the green wall where the ball hit..dddddddddddd Trailing 4-0 in the fourth, the Diamondbacks scored a run when Wil Nieves double to left-centre brought in Cody Ross, who led off the inning with a single. De La Rosa got Josh Wilson to fly out to prevent any further damage. De La Rosa also worked his way out of a jam in the third after allowing a double by Cahill and walking Didi Gregorius. Paul Goldschmidt hit a soft roller to third to end the threat. The hard-throwing De La Rosas start on Wednesday had some personal significance. It was nearly two years to the day when he tore a ligament in his elbow pitching against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field. He later underwent Tommy John surgery. He said it was a long journey back, but De La Rosa appears on the right track. He lowered his ERA this season from 3.58 to 3.40. Even though Tulowitzki is hitting .406 at home this season, Weiss elected to keep his shortstop out of the starting lineup. Its all part of the plan to keep Tulowitzki healthy for a full season. Theyre agreeing on dates he will rest -- and sticking to it, no matter if he went, say, 2 for 4 with a homer like he did Tuesday night. "We both knew coming into the season we had to do it this way," Weiss said. "I dont want to get into a situation where we say, Well, he had two hits last night, Im going to change my mind. Thats a trap. "Of course, I want Tulo out there for 162 games. Who wouldnt? But we knew we were going to have to be smarter than that coming in. Who plays 162 games, anymore?"
