MIAMI (AP) — Hits were difficult to come by in Miami's first two regular season games. The early offensive malaise finally ended Saturday night.
DENVER (AP) — Four-time All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado asked for $30 million in salary arbitration Friday, while the Colorado Rockies offered $24 million.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell says he will open the National League Division Series against the Colorado Rockies with a bullpen day on the mound.
The Rockies are turning to Antonio Senzatela to start Game 1 at Miller Park on Thursday. The right-hander is 6-6 with a 4.38 ERA in 23 games, including 13 starts.
DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies are at a loss for why they scuffle against teams with a losing record.
It's a trend they just can't seem to shake — even when they're rolling along.
DENVER (AP) — A well-pitched, crisp game by the starters suddenly turned into a late-inning slugfest.
It became a race to see which bullpen would hold a lead first. Los Angeles prevailed on a night when its best reliever was not at the park.
Chris Taylor and Brian Dozier homered off closer Wade Davis in the ninth inning and the Dodgers exploited Colorado's shaky bullpen to beat the Rockies 8-5 on Thursday night.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — One big inning was enough for Travis Shaw and the Milwaukee Brewers, and quite costly for Tyler Anderson and the Colorado Rockies.
Shaw hit a grand slam during Milwaukee's six-run first inning, and the Brewers beat the Rockies 8-4 on Saturday night.
Milwaukee won for the fourth time in six games and stayed one back of NL Central-leading Chicago, which held on for a 5-4 win over San Diego.
"We got off to an early lead and that kind of helped everything kind of settle in," Shaw said.
DENVER (AP) — Tyler Anderson kept Arizona in check for six innings. Once he left, the Diamondbacks pounced on the Colorado Rockies bullpen.
David Peralta and A.J. Pollock homered in Arizona's four-run seventh inning, and the Diamondbacks beat the Rockies 5-3 on Tuesday night.
"It's good when you do something to help the team to win," said Peralta, who has 16 home runs. "You have to be ready for a mistake. I was trying to slow down the game. I was really happy."
DENVER (AP) — The stat caught Chris Iannetta by complete surprise: This was only the 10th 1-0 game ever at Coors Field.
"Come on," the catcher said.
He can thank his dominant starter for the latest addition. He played a pretty big role, too.
Iannetta homered in the seventh, Tyler Anderson pitched eight stellar innings in outdueling Andrew Suarez and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night to sweep a three-game series.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tyler Anderson got in a groove from the first inning and kept on going.
Anderson tossed a career-high eight scoreless innings, Pat Valaika, Nolan Arenado and Chris Iannetta homered, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 on Friday night.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carlos Gonzalez came to the plate in the fourth inning with a runner on first and nobody out and saw the shift-happy Philadelphia Phillies move three infielders to the right of second base.
The lefty slugger promptly laid down a bunt where nobody was on the left side, sparking a big inning as another of manager Gabe Kapler's defensive moves backfired.
CHICAGO (AP) — Nolan Arenado got the rout started when he lined a fastball off the roof of a club room beyond the shrubs in center field. From there, the Rockies kept the long drives coming.
Arenado hit two of Colorado's season-high four homers and drove in five runs to back Tyler Anderson in an 11-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.
The Rockies hit seven home runs over the past two games at Wrigley Field, including three for Arenado.
MIAMI (AP) — Antonio Senzatela was ready when his name was unexpectedly called.
Senzatela entered for injured starter Tyler Anderson, hit an RBI double and allowed one hit over 3 2/3 innings to lift the Colorado Rockies over the Miami Marlins 1-0 Friday night.
DENVER (AP) — Tyler Anderson has had plenty of success on the mound in his young career, so he was happy to contribute at the plate.
And he didn't need to swing to help the Colorado Rockies rebound against the Chicago Cubs.
Anderson pitched six strong innings and drew a key walk in a five-run fifth inning that led the Rockies to a 5-2 win over Chicago on Saturday night.
PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have put four of their five starting pitchers on the roster for Wednesday night's National League wild-card game against the Colorado Rockies.
In addition to the game's starter Zack Greinke, left-hander Robbie Ray, a 15-game winner, will be in the Arizona bullpen along with fellow starters lefty Patrick Corbin and right-hander Zack Godley. Taijuan Walker was the only Diamondbacks starter not on the roster.
DENVER (AP) — Tyler Anderson has a deceptive leg kick to go with an even more misleading array of pitches.
It all added up to a frustrating night for Miami and a fruitful one for Colorado.
DENVER (AP) — Charlie Blackmon saw the Colorado Rockies' latest win as an encouraging sign in their drive toward the postseason, and nothing more.
Tyler Anderson pitched six innings in his first start since returning from left knee surgery, Blackmon set an NL season record for RBIs by a leadoff man, and the Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 16-0 on Saturday night in a game marred by a near brawl.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Colorado Rockies threw the Padres something of a curve by starting Jeff Hoffman instead of Tyler Anderson on Sunday.
Hoffman kept the benders coming, too, baffling San Diego with his offspeed offering.
Hoffman cruised through seven innings, Trevor Story had a pair of RBIs and the Rockies beat the Padres 3-1.
