Finally, in his last at bat -- and with the game long decided -- Arenado laced a double that landed squarely on the white left-field line. Radim Vrbata Jersey . Thats the way its been going lately for one of the Colorado Rockies hottest hitters. Arenado ran his hitting streak to 26 games and Carlos Gonzalez had five of Colorados season-high 21 hits as the Rockies routed the Texas Rangers 12-1 on Tuesday night. "Just nice to get that," Arenado said of his RBI double in the seventh. His streak is one away from tying the team record of 27 set by Michael Cuddyer last season. Its also the longest for anyone 23 years or younger since Albert Pujols hit in 30 straight games in 2003. "It was a little dramatic, but he finally did it," Gonzalez said. "It was a great night for him -- a very important night for him." For Gonzalez, too. Hes been struggling all season with finger and knee ailments that have hampered his swing. And yet the Rockies still lead the majors in most offensive categories. "Just imagine when Cargo starts swinging it the way he should," Arenado said. The first four hitters in Colorados lineup -- Charlie Blackmon, Drew Stubbs, Troy Tulowitzki and Gonzalez -- went a combined 13-for-20 with two homers and seven RBIs to help the Rockies take two games from Texas at Coors Field. Colorado now travels to Arlington, Texas, for two more in a home-and-home situation. Blackmon led off with a homer. Stubbs added another in the seventh. "We got guys up and down the order and on the bench that can really swing it," Arenado said. Juan Nicasio (4-1) got through five innings without his best command, giving up two hits and one run. He also walked a season-high five. Robbie Ross Jr. (1-3) had a rough outing as he allowed six runs and 12 hits in 5 1-3 innings. The Rangers most effective pitcher on this night was actually an outfielder. Given the lopsided score, and to save his bullpen, manager Ron Washington sent Mitch Moreland to the mound for the eighth. He set the Rockies down in order as he became only the sixth position player to pitch in Rangers history. Its the first time hes pitched since 2008 and that was in a minor league game. Moreland was hitting around 94 mph, too. "I tried to let a couple go, especially early in the count, just to have some fun," Moreland said. "Its tough in a game like that to have some fun, but its always been a dream of mine." Leading 4-1, the Rockies broke open the game with a six-run sixth in which they sent 12 batters to the plate. Pinch hitter Brandon Barnes even got up twice, hitting singles both times. "They put the ball in play and found holes. There was nothing we could do about it," Washington said. Arenados glove set the stage for the run eruption. He robbed Adrian Beltre of two hits and, along with it, potentially big innings for the Rangers. He felt a little bad, too. "Beltres my favourite player," Arenado said. "Hes one of the last players Id want to rob." In the third, Arenado, the reigning Gold Glove winner at the hot corner, gobbled up a hot grounder from Beltre and threw him out at first. Beltre playfully looked at Arenado and raised hands as if to say, "Did that just happen?" Arenado has been stealing hits all season. So much so that before the game Washington said of Arenado: "That kid over there is a highlight reel." In the fifth, Arenado got Beltre again as he snared a two-out slow roller with his bare hand and made a strong throw that barely beat Beltre. "Ive got to do what Ive got to do," Arenado said. Nicasio struggled to find the strike zone, with catcher Jordan Pacheco and pitching coach Jim Wright making frequent visits to settle him down. It worked as Nicasio improved to 3-0 at home this season. Ross nearly had his first major league hit as he beat out a grounder to second. But Rockies manager Walt Weiss challenged the play and it was reversed upon review. "I think hell get another one," Weiss said, laughing. "I think he will." NOTES: Beltre hit his first homer of the season, a solo shot in the first. ... RHP Colby Lewis (2-1) will pitch Wednesday as the Rangers return from a five-game road swing. The Rockies counter with LHP Jorge De La Rosa (3-3). ... Tulowitzki is hitting .608 with six homers and 22 RBIs at home this season. Connor Brickley Jersey . Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins (5) – He had a brilliant game; it was a huge response for his average games before. Reilly Smith Jersey . - All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers looked spry enough in pregame warmups Sunday for Green Bays divisional playoff game against Dallas. http://www.hockeypanthersofficialonline.com/aleksi-heponiemi-hockey-jersey/ . -- The Phoenix Coyotes have won three in a row for the first time in 4 1/2 months, and theyve done it just in time for the stretch run to the playoffs.After another blizzard of blistering darts from world No 1 Michael van Gerwen, the Dutchman will be desperate to add another World Championship title to his trophy cabinet, says Wayne Mardle. The world No 1 scooped his 21st tournament win of the year with an incredible 5-2 triumph over Gary Anderson in Saturdays final.A stunning 160 finish, his second ton-plus finish of the game, followed seven 180s and moved his average to 100.29, the highest in a World Grand Prix final to surpass Phil Taylors 100.17 in the 2002 decider to complete his hat-trick on The Emerald Isle. MVG seals Dublin hat-trick Michael van Gerwen wins World Grand Prix for a third time And Mardle says it would be a travesty if Mighty Mike failed to add to his 2014 title.I think theres a real funny thing going on Ive got to say, admitted the Sky Sports darts expert. For all the things hes winning, hes somehow got to add to his world title tally. All the reaction from Dublin as van Gerwen beat Anderson 5-2 to win the World Grand Prix title for a third time Theres no point in his retiring in 10, 15 or 20 years whatever it is and have one world title in the bank. That would be an absolute travesty. Hes head and shoulders above everyone else barring Gary Anderson. Phil Taylor is just below Gary and no offence to the rest and I couldnt care less if I upset them or not, theyre nowhere near them three.Adrian Lewis and James Wade cant compete with these two and Phil Taylor is better than them.For Michael, this is something he loves doing and is just something thats on the road to the worlds. Hes going to be hard to beat, but he is beatable. Theres no point in his retiring in 10, 15 or 20 years whatever it is and have one world title in the bank. That would be an absolute travesty. Wayne Mardle Former three-time world champion John Part feels Van Gerwen is desperate to win again at Alexandra Palace but says he puts too much pressure on himself.Thats the one he wants to win the most, so its the pressure hes put on himself and its also the one everyone else wants to win the most too. Theres a combination of factors, said Part. I think he will win more titles but he needs to loosen up a bit more and stop trying so hard. He knows hes the best player in the world. John Part thinks that there will be no pressure on Gary Anderson to win a third World Championship title Mardle was impressed with the 27-year-olds display at the Citywest Hotel in Dublin as he followed up his 2012 and 2014 triumphs with one of the greatest performances in the double-start events history. Mark Pysyk Jersey. The first five sets, Michael averaged over 100 in each of those five sets and no matter what Gary was trying to do or trying to achieve, Michael was keeping him down and not letting him breath, he said.

Van Gerwen celebrates after winning the Grand Prix (Picture courtesy of Lawrence Lustig/PDC) You continue to put someone under pressure then eventually they will either crack and lose or they fight back and you think hold on, whats going on and thats what happened for about a set where Gary got one back and made it 4-2. Van Gerwen finished the match with a magnificent 160 checkout The turning point for me was the last leg of the fifth set. It could have gone 3-2, but it didnt and it went 4-1. For me, that was kind of the game done and dusted even though Gary won a set after that.Gary wasnt playing well enough and Michael wasnt playing bad enough to come back to 4-4. It was a great performance by Michael van Gerwen. It was something like weve never seen before for the first five sets.
