Arenado flashes leather in victory over Giants

DENVER -- Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado helped pitcher Eddie Butler avoid a big inning in the fourth of Friday night's 6-4 win and showed why he has won a National League Gold Glove at his position in each of his first two seasons.

After Butler gave up consecutive singles to start the fourth, Casey McGehee hit a hard grounder that Arenado backhanded with a sprawling stop near the third-base line. He then ran about 15 feet to the base to force Brandon Belt and fired to first just in time to get McGehee and complete a spectacular double play.
