SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Ryan Spilborghs and Carlos Gonzalez each had two-run hits in a five-run third inning, as the Rockies bested the Mariners, 6-3, at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Wednesday night before a crowd of 12,261 — the Rockies’ seventh straight sellout.
Ian Stewart’s double, Chris Iannetta’s single and Willy Taveras’ infield single loaded the bases for Spilborghs, who slapped a two-run single. Gonzalez followed with a two-run double, and would drive in a third later in the game. Troy Tulowitzki drove in the final run of the frame on a fielder’s choice grounder.
All of the runs came against Mariners left-hander Luke French, who went to Heritage High School just outside of Denver.

Different strokes for different folks.
Both Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were dismissed in the Accenture World Match Play tourney in Tucson, AZ. An angry Woods went home to sulk. Mickelson reportedly had some fun in Las Vegas.
A person who sat at Mickelson’s table tweeted the experience, saying that Phil dropped around $500,000 and smiled about it.
