ATLANTA -- Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado couldnt believe he booted a routine grounder that couldve helped the Colorado Rockies hold a four-run lead in the third inning. "I needed to make that play," he said. "That was a big error." Arenados error was a big blow in Atlantas six-run inning, and Colorado reliever Edgmer Escalona gave up Andrelton Simmons RBI triple in the 10th of a 9-8 loss on Monday night. After Dan Uggla walked to lead off the 10th, Simmons hit the ball too deep into the gap in left-centre field for Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler to keep it from reaching the wall Scott Downs (1-0) earned the win after being acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels earlier in the day and arriving at Turner Field not long before the first pitch. The left-hander allowed one hit and struck out one in 1 1-3 innings. Escalona (1-4) allowed one hit, one run and one walk in 12 pitches. Downs escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth by making just one pitch, a liner he caught on the mound from Todd Helton. Gonzalez went 5 for 5 with two RBIs after missing the last three games with a sprained middle right finger. He drove in the tying run in the ninth off Jordan Walden. "It was tough to lose a game like this," Gonzalez said. "The way we played tonight we probably should have won, but they got the big hit." Atlantas offence bailed out starting pitcher Brandon Beachy, who made his first start in 13 months after undergoing elbow ligament replacement surgery. Chris Johnson, who leads the NL with a .339 batting average, and Uggla each had two RBIs to help the Braves erase a 5-0 hole with six runs in the third inning, then rally from a two-run deficit in the fifth to make it 8-7. Beachy gave up eight hits, seven runs and one walk with five strikeouts in 3 2-3 innings. He made 84 pitches, 58 for strikes. With Braves closer Craig Kimbrel unavailable after earning saves in all three games against St. Louis last weekend, Walden gave up two hits, walked two in two-thirds of an inning and left with the bases loaded. Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa gave up 10 hits and eight runs -- five earned -- with two walks and three strikeouts in five innings. Arenados error in the third ruined a chance for an inning-ending double play. After Jason Heywards one-out RBI single made it 5-1, Arenado let Evan Gattis bases-loaded grounder bounce off the heel of his glove, allowing Heyward to score and keep the bases loaded. Johnson followed with a two-run double before Uggla had an RBI groundout and Simmons RBI double gave the Braves a 6-5 lead. "I think I pulled my head from the ball," Arenado said. "If I would have just stayed down, I think I would have had it. I should have gone home. My instincts should have just kept going through the ball and go toward home." The Rockies scored twice in the fourth to go ahead 7-6 when Arenado hit his eighth homer. D.J. LeMahieus single chased Beachy and Gonzalez scored on David Carpenters wild pitch. All of Gonzalezs five hits were singles, raising his average nine points to .306. Gonzalez matched his career high for hits, which he last accomplished in a 9-4 victory at the Chicago Cubs on May 14. The Rockies took a 1-0 lead in the first on Gonzalezs RBI single and went up 2-0 in the second on Wilin Rosarios 15th homer. In the third, Colorado led 4-0 on a two-run triple by Michael Cuddyer, who scored to make it 5-0 on Heltons sacrifice fly. "We played a tough game," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We got up early. Youve got to put those games away. We didnt put it away." Notes: Rockies INF Charlie Culberson, recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs earlier in the day, grounded out as a pinch hitter in the 10th.

Another day talking about Odell Beckham Jr.Its getting to be a habit for New York Giants rookie head coach Ben McAdoo.While McAdoo spent some time talking Tuesday about the Giants play in the wake of their 24-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, he probably spent much more time than he would have liked discussing Beckham and another of his emotional in-game outbursts.After his opening statement, McAdoo had to answer 11 of the next 12 questions about Beckham, his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Vikings, the receiver saying Tuesday he was not having fun playing football, his claims the officials were targeting him, just to name a few.It was similar to last week after the loss to Washington. Beckham didnt get a 15-yard penalty in that game, but he had several meltdowns on the sideline during the game.McAdoo again had to talk about his best playmaker, but not for the plays he was making.The Giants had no media availability on Tuesday, but Beckham became the focal point in an interview with ESPNs Anita Marks.Football is my sanctuary, Beckham told her. Its where I go to escape. Its where Im most happy. Im not having fun anymore.McAdoo understood what his receiver was saying. He doesnt like losing and he certainly doesnt like being held to three catches for a career-low 23 yards.When we execute better, spread the ball around and everyone gets their opportunities, were going to have some fun, McAdoo said when asked about Beckhams comment.Until we execute better, hang onto the football and eliminate the penalties from our play, no one is going to be having any fun.Beckham didnt have much fun against the Vikings. Eli Manning did not throw a pass his way until the second quarter. When he caught a short one later in the quarter, Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes seemed to hit him late out of bounds.Beckham complained to the official and then said something to Rhodes.A flag came oout and Beckham was hit with an unsportsmanlike penalty, costing the Giants 15 yards.dddddddddddd.McAdoo said that he thought there would have been offsetting penalties.Every game is officiated differently, McAdoo said. Not all crews officiate games the same way. You have scouting reports on officials just like you do on opponents. We need to understand how the games are going to be officiated. You usually find out pretty early.McAdoo said he was not aware whether the Giants planned to complain to the league about either the play or Beckhams allegations that he was being targeted by the officials.Beckham and Rhodes were matched against each other several times in the game and had some tiffs.McAdoo insisted those were not distractions to his team. He added that Beckham is a hard-working athlete who wants nothing more than to help his team win. He also said he speaks with Beckham every day, but refused to say what they talk about.The coach took the blame for Manning not throwing his way in the opening 22 minutes.Hes one heck of a player that wants the football, McAdoo said.However, Beckham needs to avoid getting any penalties that push his team back 15 yards.Manning said Beckham has to be aware that he is a focal point on the field for everyone.People are looking for him and hes got to be smart, Manning said. He cant afford to do anything that theyre going to call. Hes brought that on himself, so hes got to be aware of that.Game notes McAdoo said that TE Larry Donnell is in the concussion protocol. S Nat Berhe has not been cleared to play after sustaining a concussion last week. ...
