Nolan Arenado certainly has a flair for the dramatic.
Remember Father’s Day 2017 when he finished off the cycle with a three-run, walk-off home run to lift the Rockies to a victory over the Giants at Coors Field?
The star third baseman’s solo home run Monday night wasn’t nearly as sensational, but it sure was timely. His 419-foot shot to left field in the seventh inning at Coors was not only the 1,000th hit of his brilliant career, it gave the Rockies a 6-5 lead over Washington.
Raimel Tapia‘s pinch-hit solo home run in the eighth sealed Colorado’s 7-5 victory.
