Ian Stewart should consider patenting his spin move at third base. In the fourth, he snared a grounder by Yuniesky Betancourt, spun on his backside and threw the ball to Clint Barmes at second. Barmes completed the nifty double play. Stewart pulled off a similar spinner last week in Milwaukee.
Yo, Adrian.
Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre plays rough with Rockies starter Jason Marquis. He entered the game 4-for-12 vs. Marquis, with a homer and three RBIs. He promptly pounded a double to left in the first, repeated the feat in the third and drilled a run-scoring single through the box to tie the game 1-all in the fifth.
Slump buster.
Dexter Fowler broke out of a 0-for-9 skid with a single in the first and another in the fourth, boosting his average to .255. Patrick Saunders, The Denver Post
