.Arenado also doubled twice and drove in two to help

DENVER (AP) — No. 1 Deion Sanders Jersey ,000 was nothing new for Nolan Arenado.Arenado hit a tiebreaking homer for his 1,000th career hit and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the Washington Nationals 7-5 Monday nightthe Rockies win for the seventh time in eight games. He is the ninth Rockies player to reach 1,000 hits, getting there with a solo shot off Wander Suero (1-2) in the seventh to make it 6-5.“I’m just thankful I was able to put the team ahead there and have a good quality at bat against a guy throwing hard and throwing really good cutters,” Arenado said. “I just tried to hit the ball hard there.”Washington manager Dave Martinez said Suero’s pitch to Arenado went over the middle of the plate.“With a guy like Arenado you’ve got to make a better pitch than that,” Martinez said. “He’s a really good hitter. He’s one of the premiere players in the game and you’ve got to make your pitches.”The Rockies located the home run ball, convincing the fan who caught it to give it up in exchange for balls autographed by Trevor Story and Charlie Blackmon. Clubhouse manager Mike Pontarelli put the ball in a case and presented it to Arenado after the game.“This is real cool,” Arenado said with a smile.Mark Reynolds and pinch-hitter Raimel Tapia also homered for Colorado, and Trevor Story singled twice and drove in a run to extend his hitting streak to 11 games.Brian Dozier had a three-run home run for the Nationals, who could not hold two- and three-run leads.Tapia connected off Kyle Barraclough in the Rockies’ eighth.Wade Davis got three outs for his second save, capping a strong showing by Rockies relievers, who picked up faltering starter Tyler Anderson by not allowing a run over six innings. Chad Bettis stabilized the game for the Rockies by working three innings and Seunghwan Oh (1-0) worked a hitless seventh.“Those guys have been doing a great job for us all year,” Reynolds said. “Bettis came in and threw three innings, really good work, then Oh and (Scott) Oberg and Wade. They haven’t had too many leads to pitch with this year, but when they do have the lead, they tend to hold it and keep us in games. And to fall behind twice and win this game against a really good team Alen Hanson Jersey , it’s a confidence boost.”Washington catcher Yan Gomes said the Rockies relievers were tough to crack.“We knew coming in they had a pretty decent bullpen,” Gomes said. “It was just a matter for us to put some good at-bats together. We did, we were just one knock away from away from breaking the game open, just like they were. We took some good approaches, it just didn’t go our way.”Arenado helped defensively in the ninth, snaring pinch-hitter Kurt Suzuki’s sharply hit grounder to third, stepping on the bag for the force before going to first to complete a game-ending double play.Colorado evened the score for the second time with a three-run fifth, highlighted by Reynolds’ two-run homer off Jeremy Hellickson, who allowed a season high five runs on nine hits in five innings.With the score tied at 2 and runners at first and second following successive walks in the fourth, Dozier drove a 2-0 offering deep into the left field bleachers to put Washington up 5-2 and chase Anderson, who was reinstated earlier in the day from the 10-day injured list (left knee inflammation). Anderson allowed five runs and four hits in three-plus innings in his shortest outing of the season.Howie Kendrick put Washington on top with a two-run single in the first, but Colorado evened it in its half of the inning on Arenado’s RBI double and Ryan McMahon’s RBI single.TRAINER’S ROOMRockies: LHP Kyle Freeland will miss his scheduled start Tuesday night after going on the 10-day injured list because of a blister on his left middle finger.

DETROIT (AP) — Albert Pujols turned on a fastball over the middle of the plate, sent the no-doubt shot deep into the left-field seats, flipped his bat toward celebrating teammates in the dugout and trotted around the bases.By the time he stepped on home plate Edgar Martinez Jersey , the three-time MVP was in an elite group of three players in baseball history.Pujols became the third player with 2,000 career RBIs when he hit a solo homer in the third inning Thursday to help the Los Angeles Angels rout the Detroit Tigers 13-0.Article continues below ...“We end up winning the game and winning the series. That’s more special,” he said. “It’s a great moment to be out there, the third one on the list.”Pujols joined Hank Aaron (2,297) and Alex Rodriguez (2,086) as the players to reach the milestone since 1920. Babe Ruth is credited with 1,992 RBIs because baseball’s official records don’t count the runs the slugger drove in with the Boston Red Sox from 1914 through 1919.“To win games, you have to drive runs in,” Pujols said. “I know right now there’s a lot of geniuses that don’t want to give credit to RBIs.”Ryan Carpenter (0-1) threw Pujols a 2-0 pitch that helped him end a three-game hitless streak.“Not really the way you want to be a part of history,” Carpenter said. “It was a 2-0, two-seamer that I left up.”The ball ended up in the hands of a fan, who would not give up the ball and the superstar didn’t have a problem with the decision.“We play this game for the fans, too, and if they want to keep it, I think they have the right,” Pujols insisted. “I just hope he can enjoy.”Pujols received an ovation by the sparse crowd at Comerica Park, where his accomplishment was recognized on the videoboard and by the public address announcer.“You feel honored just to be on the field with him Ryon Healy Jersey ,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “He’s one of the elite hitters in baseball history, but he’s also a class act as a person.”Luke Bard started for the Angels after a 53-minute rain delay and pitched one inning, allowing two hits. Felix Pena (2-1) followed and threw seven scoreless innings, giving up just three hits and striking out seven. Cam Bedrosian pitched the ninth to seal the scoreless outing.The Angels provided plenty of offense.Shohei Ohtani ended his 0-for-7 start with an RBI single in the two-run first. The AL Rookie of the Year finished 2 for 4, appearing in his third game since being cleared to play following Tommy John surgery in October.“My first hit is important and I’m glad to get it out of the way,” he said through an interpreter.Tommy La Stella hit his first of two homers in the three-run second inning. Pujols’ sixth homer of the year gave Los Angeles a 6-0 lead. Kole Calhoun followed with another solo homer in the sixth inning and Mike Trout’s sacrifice fly made it 9-0 in the seventh.“Obviously, pitching is a problem right now,” Gardenhire said. “We’ve got four games in three days against a Minnesota team that is really swinging the bats well. We need a lot more depth from our starters to protect the bullpen, especially with that doubleheader coming up.”TRAINER’S ROOMAngels: CF Brian Goodwin was scheduled to have the day off but was used as a pinch-hitter for Trout in the eighth and singled.Tigers:OF Christin Stewart (right quad strain) was reinstated from the injured list and hit a fly to center in the ninth as a pinch-hitter for Miguel Cabrera.ROSTER MOVEDetroit optioned RHP Zac Reininger and plan to announce a corresponding move Friday.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Trevor Cahill (1-3, 6.95) starts a series Friday against RHP Dan Straily (1-2, 7.43) at Baltimore.Tigers: RHP Tyson Ross (1-4, 5.34) opens a series Friday night against RHP Jake Odorizzi (4-2, 2.78) at Minnesota.
