CIRCUS MUSIC On Friday night, Trevor Story hit a grand slam and Charlie Blackmon recorded an inside-the-park home run in the same inning it was the first time that a team has hit a grand slam and inside-the-park home run in the same inning since the Boston Red Sox in 2011 (Conor Jackson GS, Jacoby Ellsbury ITP) the feat had not been accomplished in the National League since the New York Giants on Aug. 16, 1950 (Don Mueller GS, Hank Thompson ITP). The inside-the-park home run was the first of Blackmon s career and the 16th in franchise history (last: Brandon Barnes, June 14, 2014 at San Francisco) it was the 11th inside the park home run by a Rockies player at Coors Field (last: Brandon Barnes, June 5, 2014 vs. Arizona). IT S STILL EARLY The Rockies 12-6 record, a.667 winning percentage, is tied for the fourth-best start in franchise history after 18 games the 1997, 2011 and 2013 Rockies went 13-5 after 18 games for a.722 winning percentage, which is the highest in franchise history over that span the 1995 Rockies were also 12-6 through 18 games. Three Rockies teams of the previous 24 have been 13-6 or better after 19 games: (1997: 14-5, 2013: 13-6, 2011: 13-6).

The last team in MLB to start 7-0 in one-run games was the 2006 Houston Astros. HEY, GUYS Nolan Arenado is a career.307 (91-for-296) hitter against the Giants with 27 doubles, two triples, 20 home runs and 65 RBI. The 20 home runs against the Giants rank third among current players, the 65 RBI rank fifth and the batting average ranks 10th.
