ARLINGTON, Texas -- Adrian Beltre wasnt surprised to see Colorado intentionally walk new teammate Carlos Beltran in front of him to load the bases late in a one-run game.What happened next was all too familiar for the Rockies.Beltre singled in two runs in the eighth inning, and the Texas Rangers rallied late for the third straight game against Colorado in a 5-4 victory Wednesday night.You pick your poison in that situation, Texas manager Jeff Banister said of Walt Weiss move with first base open. Its a comfortable feeling to have one of those guys coming to the plate for you in those situations. So yeah, it will never get old talking about that.The first two comebacks were in Denver, where the Rangers had a three-run ninth for a 4-3 victory and erased a three-run deficit in the eighth inning of a 7-5 win. Texas extended its winning streak to five.In the first of two games in Texas, Colorado rookie David Dahl had a tying two-run triple in the eighth to extend his career-opening hitting streak to 16 games, matching Juan Pierres franchise record from 2000. He scored the go-ahead run on Ryan Raburns sacrifice fly.But Beltres bases-loaded single with two outs sent the Rockies to their sixth loss in seven games.It also gave the Rangers a happy ending on a day that started somberly with slugger Prince Fielders emotional announcement that he was following a medical recommendation to quit playing because of a second cervical fusion surgery on his neck.Colorado lost three of the last four on its just-completed homestand when leading after seven innings. And now this after their stirring comeback in the eighth.Well work our way through it, Weiss said. I feel like we have enough talent there to get it right. We just have to get on a roll.Jake Diekman (3-1) allowed Dahls tying hit before 30-year-old rookie Matt Bush pitched a perfect ninth for his first big league save.Jonathan Lucroy homered in his first home game since the deadline trade that brought him to Texas, giving the Rangers a 3-1 lead in the fifth.Lucroys solo shot was his fourth in six games with the Rangers and 17th this season, one shy of his career high with Milwaukee in 2013. The Brewers sent him and reliever Jeremy Jeffress to the Rangers for prospects on Aug. 1.It was also the first game in Arlington for Beltran since the deadline deal with the Yankees. He singled his first time up, but didnt get a chance in the eighth.Instead, Beltres hard grounder skipped past shortstop Cristhian Adames into left center off Adam Ottavino, the third Colorado reliever of the inning.Anytime youve got two future Hall of Famer-type guys, its a deadly combination, Lucroy said. In Milwaukee, we had (Ryan) Braun and then we had Prince right behind him in his heyday years. Theres no bullpen, theres no starter that wants to deal with that.Both Texas runs in the eighth were unearned after Mitch Moreland reached on first baseman Mark Reynolds one-out error with Boone Logan (1-2) pitching.DOUBLE THE FUNTexas starter Martin Perez got two ground-ball double plays to give the left-hander a majors-leading 31 for the season. He tied C.J. Wilsons Texas record from 2011. One of them was unassisted at first base by Jurickson Profar, who fielded a sharp grounder from Nolan Arenado and tagged D.J. LeMahieu running near him before stepping on the bag.SHORT HOPSColorado leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon had three singles, including one on a 13-pitch at-bat against Perez in the third. ... The Rangers have a majors-leading 36 comeback victories.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: RF Carlos Gonzalez was out of the lineup for the fourth time in seven games since spraining his left ankle Aug. 3 against the Dodgers. Manager Walt Weiss said hes still day to day.Rangers: LHP Derek Holland (left shoulder inflammation) threw 55 pitches in a three-inning rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock. ... RHP Colby Lewis (strained right lat muscle) threw off a mound for the first time since he was sidelined following his last start June 22. He threw 21 pitches.UP NEXTRockies RHP Chad Bettis (10-6, 5.13 ERA) faces Rangers RHP Lucas Harrell (3.2, 3.46 combined NL/AL) in the second of two games in Arlington after the teams played a pair in Denver. Bettis, a Texas native, has never faced the Rangers. Harrell has a 7.40 ERA in five career starts against the Rockies. James Bourque Nationals Jersey .35 million, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration. Plouffe batted .254 with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs in 477 at-bats last season, his second as a regular in the lineup. Anibal Sanchez Jersey . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste. https://www.cheapnationals.com/1107r-hunter-strickland-jersey-nationals.html . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. Wander Suero Nationals Jersey .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal. The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. Victor Robles Jersey . Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup. Unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin will defend his belts against welterweight world titlist Kell Brook on Sept. 10 at the O2 Arena in London, organizers announced Friday in a huge surprise.The match comes as a shock because Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions was close to finalizing a deal with Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn for Golovkin to defend against middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr.Hearn was also in the process of finalizing a deal with Top Rank for a welterweight unification fight between Brook and Jessie Vargas.But Eubank seemingly got cold feet when it came to fighting Golovkin. The Brook-Vargas deal, meanwhile, became difficult to finalize because, according to Top Rank, Hearn wanted to reduce the money he was going to pay Top Rank by 20 percent after the recent steep devaluation of the British pound.So voila: Golovkin-Brook became a reality. Already blown off for a fall fight by lineal middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, as well as titleholder Billy Joe Saunders and now Eubank, Golovkin needed an opponent.And Brook, looking at taking a smaller share of the money against Vargas, instead elected to go for the bigger fight against Golovkin and agreed to move up to 160 pounds. There is no catchweight for this bout.I cannot tell you how excited I am for this megafight, Hearn said. Ive worked hard with Tom over the years to bring GGG to the U.K. Right here you have the No. 1 welterweight in the world against the No. 1 middleweight in the world -- 36-0 versus 35-0, two of the best on the planet. Its what big-time boxing is all about.Golovkin-Brook will air in the United States on HBO and on Sky Box Office pay-per-view in the United Kingdom.Im very excited to be fighting in front of the great British boxing fans and promise another big drama show against Kell Brook, the 34-year-old Golovkin said.Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) is coming off a crushing second-round knockout of mandatory challenger Dominic Wade on April 23 at the sold-out Forum in Inglewood, California. He has defended his title 16 times -- closing in on Bernard Hopkins division record of 20.Golovkin, of Kazakhstan, has also scored 22 knockouts in a row, owns the best knockout percentage in middleweight title history (.914) and has not gone the distance since winning an eight-round decision in 2008.None of those gaudy statistics discouraged Brook, who has said time and again that he wanted a big fight. Now he has one.This is the fight and the moment I have been waiting for for some time, Brook said. Weve tried and tried to lure the best to come and fight me, and now weve got the best of the best. The No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world is coming to the U.K. When this fight got offered to me, I accepted within minutes, and I cant wait.Loeffler said finalizing the bout was a snap.Everything was great with the Eubank fight, and Eddie was very confident he could close a deal with him. As it started getting into the finer points of the deal he was running into issues with Eubank. By Wednesday he told me he had hit so many roadblocks that he wasnt confident it would happen, Loeffler told ESPN.com.So he said to me, Let me see if Kell Brook would take the fight under the same conditions. And he called me back about two hours later and said Brook will take the fightt.dddddddddddd He said he offered Kell the same deal he offered Eubank and Kell jumped at it. It took us a day to finalize the agreement and we announced it [Friday].Kell said after his last fight that he wanted to fight Gennady, but I didnt think that was realistic. Eddie said it was back then, and thats what gave him the idea to offer it to him for Sept. 10.Brook (36-0, 25 KOs), 30, of England, traveled to the United States and outpointed Shawn Porter to win a welterweight world title in August 2014. He has made three defenses against lesser opponents since -- knockouts of Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier. All the while he was calling for a big fight.Brook will be moving from 147 pounds to 160 to face Golovkin after a similar move by rival countryman Amir Khan, whom he has not been able to make a deal to fight despite massive public interest in the United Kingdom. On May 2, Khan, a former junior welterweight titlist moved up from welterweight to a 155-pound catchweight to challenge Alvarez for the lineal title and got knocked out in brutal fashion in the sixth round in Las Vegas.Brook said moving up two weight divisions wont be an issue for him against GGG. Even if he loses, he would still have a welterweight title and could return to the division to defend it.Everyone knows Im a huge welterweight, and I know I will carry my speed and accuracy and even more power through the weights, Brook said. This is the ultimate fight, one of the biggest international fights the country has seen in many years. You have seen some huge names run from GGG, but Im running to him. Im a special fighter and I will show the world on Sept. 10.Loeffler said he commended Brook for his willingness to tangle with an opponent so many have avoided.Kell is coming up in weight, but Gennady is going to Kells country. Kell is the one who finally stepped up to fight Gennady, Loeffler said. We tried to make Carl Froch [at super middleweight a couple of years ago]; we reached out to Billy Joe Saunders to unify. We said we would go to England to fight and him and he would have gotten his biggest purse, but he wouldnt take the fight. Then we went through this exercise with Eubank and now were here with Kell Brook.We have an undefeated welterweight champion and the best welterweight in the world willing to move up to face the best middleweight in the world, and the best middleweight in the world is willing to go to Kell Brooks country to defend all of his belts. They both had the same problem. Kell Brook could not get the big welterweight names to fight him like we could not get the big middleweight names to fight Gennady. This solves the problem for both fighters and creates and massive event.Said Hearn: I couldnt be happier for Kell. We have pushed for that big name for a long time with many reluctant to step into the ring with him, and now this is the ultimate challenge, the biggest fight of 2016, and I cant tell you how happy I am to bring it to the U.K. Sept. 10 is going to be an incredible night at the O2. Its a special night for British sport and we will provide a packed show with multiple world title fights and some of the biggest names in British boxing. ' ' '
