Nolan Arenado blasted his way into the Rockies’ record books Monday night with his 100th career home run.

Arenado, 25, became the youngest player in franchise history to reach that milestone when he hit a 431-foot solo shot to center field off Texas Rangers starter Cole Hamels to lead off the fourth inning.

The Rockies third baseman聽has been on a tear of late after shaking off a prolonged slump following the all-star break. The home run was his third in five at-bats going back to Sunday’s two-homer game against the Marlins. It was also his fourth home run in the last six games.

Arenado’s home run, which gave the Rockies a 2-0 lead, was his 30th of the season, the most in聽the National League.

“His slumps typically aren’t going to last too long,” Rockies manager Walt Weiss said before Monday’s game, “because he’s so talented and he works so hard. That’s what we’re seeing.”
