Rockies’ all-star recap

Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and Trevor Story represented the Rockies on Tuesday night at the All-Star Game in Washington, D.C., where Arenado started at third base and hit second in the lineup and Blackmon and Story came on as reserves. Here’s how the trio fared as the American League beat the National League 8-6 in 10 innings: Trevor Story

In his first showing at the Midsummer Classic, the Rockies’ shortstop came in for the Giants’ Brandon Crawford and didn’t waste time in his first all-star at-bat, homering 375 feet to left off the Astros’ Charlie Morton to even the game 2-2 in the seventh. Story was nearly beaned by Seattle’s Edwin Diaz in the ninth before striking out.

1-for-2, home run, RBI, strikeout Nolan Arenado

In his second-straight start at third base and fourth all-star appearance, Arenado made several routine plays at the hot corner but came up mostly empty at the dish against Boston’s Chris Sale (flyout) and Tampa Bay’s Blake Snell (strikeout). In all, it was a fairly quiet all-star showing for the Rockies’ most prolific player. 0-for-2, walk, strikeout Charlie Blackmon

Blackmon, a three-time all-star, subbed for the Nationals’ Bryce Harper and flew out to left in the bottom of the sixth. He made two easy plays on defense and chatted with broadcasters Joe Buck and John Smoltz live during the top of the eighth about his beard, the bias against hitters at Coors Field.
