Arenado prepares for bout at the plate

It's a challenge, however. He is 7-for-33 (.212) with two doubles and two home runs against the Giants' Madison Bumgarner, 7-for-31 with no homers and four doubles against the D-backs' Zack Greinke, and 4-for-26 with a double against the D-backs' Patrick Corbin.

Arenado is respectable to successful against some big-name guys -- .250 (5-for-20) with a home run against the Giants' Johnny Cueto, .303 (10-for-33) with a home run against the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw. But the more production Arenado can display against the top pitchers, the better for a Rockies club that's trying to climb into the playoff hunt.
