On some nights it seems like Nolan Arenado and Carlos Gonzalez are the Rockies' entire offense. Last night they actually were. The team's only runs came on back-to-back swings in the first inning, when the dynamic duo launched consecutive solo home runs off Giants rookie Chris Heston.
A ball actually landed in the seats on three consecutive swings. CarGo hit a towering 3-1 pitch into the right field box, but it was determined to be ever-so-slightly foul. After a delay for a review that upheld the call, Heston delivered his full count pitch and Gonzalez obliterated it. The ball hit off the back wall of the bullpen and the National League home run leader extended his lead over his teammate by two with his 36th home run.
