DENVER -- Jorge De La Rosa tossed six scoreless innings, Todd Helton doubled and scored a run, and the Colorado Rockies held on beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Wednesday night. Michael Cuddyer reached three times and Rex Brothers picked up his sixth save in seven chances with a scoreless ninth. Miami entered the series having not scored in 37 innings, but it is the Rockies who have struggled for runs in the first three games. They managed one Monday, two against Jose Fernandez on Tuesday and two more against Jacob Turner on Wednesday. De La Rosa (10-5) made sure the two runs would stand up with another strong performance, and the bend-not-break bullpen helped Colorado snap a two-game skid. De La Rosa pitched out of trouble when Miami had runners on first and third in the first and second innings. After Turner singled in the second, De La Rosa set down 13 of his last 15, yielding only two-out singles to Adeiny Hechavarria in the fifth and Placido Polanco in the sixth. He allowed six hits and struck out four to reach double-digit victories for the first time since winning 16 games for the Rockies in 2009. Turner (3-3) was a hard-luck loser for the second straight outing. He allowed two runs and six hits, struck out four and walked two in six innings. It was the third straight start he allowed just two runs. Colorado went ahead in the second. Helton reached on a two-out double down the left-field line and scored on Nolan Arenados single to left to make it 1-0. DJ LeMahieu gave the Rockies a 2-0 lead in the fifth with a sacrifice fly to centre to score Yorvit Torrealba. The Marlins wasted a chance when they loaded the bases with no outs against reliever Edgmer Escalona in the seventh. Escalona struck out Hechavarria looking for the first out, then Josh Outman came on and fanned rookie Christian Yelich for the second out. Wilton Lopez relieved Outman and induced Giancarlo Stanton into an inning-ending groundout to third. Miami broke through in the eighth when Polanco scored on Donovan Solanos third single of the night. The Marlins threatened for more, but Matt Belisle struck out pinch-hitter Justin Ruggiano with runners on first and second to end the inning. NOTES: Heltons double was the 579th of his career and moved him past Wade Boggs on the career list. ... Stanton is hitting .314 with seven home runs in 10 career games at Coors Field. ... LeMahieu has hit safely in all five games he has played since the All-Star break. ...

Its more than three months since the Australian womens rugby sevens side claimed the first ever Olympic sevens gold medal, but the title Olympic Champion remains as surreal as ever for Charlotte Caslick.With her exciting style of play and trademark braids, Caslick quickly became the face of sevens at the 2016 Rio Games. Hammering in defence and sharp in attack, the scrum-half dominated the competition, scoring seven tries across the three days of play, only missing in two games.Despite her sides achievements, Caslick continues to be amazed when the public recognizes her -- especially out of uniform.Yeah, [I am still walking on air] a little bit, Caslick told ESPN. Its a massive privilege to be able to classify us in that group of elite athletes - its obviously the pinnacle of all sports. Its always quite surreal telling someone youre an Olympic gold medallist.Sometimes [I dont have to tell people who I am], but I guess we look kind of different from when we play footy to what we do when were just walking around the streets. Some people definitely do recognise us, which is a bit surreal still as well; we never really expect people to know what we did or anything. But its always awesome when little kids come over and ask for autographs and stuff like that.The 21-year-old is no stranger to success. A national 800m champion in primary school and Australian touch football representative at both age-grade and open levels, she made the move to sevens at 18 and quickly caught the eye of coaches.Caslick won a gold medal at the Australian Youth Games festival in her debut season and was selected in the 2013 Australian World Cup team that competed in Russia. Just over a year later, she was named in World Rugbys 2014-15 Team of the Season and was nominated for the 2015 World Sevens Player of the Year.Its been a rapid rise for the Queenslander.It is crazy, it definitely happened really quickly, Caslick said. When we first went into it, Rio was our goal and a gold medal was our goal, so for the last four years weve been dreaming about that. But in comparison to other sports it did all happen very quickly.Securing their first ever World Rugby Sevens Series title just months out from the Olympics, the Aussie girls headed to Rio as clear favourites for gold.The pressure of expectation could have been an issue, but Caslick said the group learned to block out the white noise and focus only on themselves. In doing just that, the Aussies conceded a mere 34 points for the tournament and wowed a whole new audience with their entertaining attack play.Im not really surprised, I think we play an amazing style of rugby, Caslick said when asked about the groups new-found fame. If people didnt like watching it I dont know what theyre on about. I think the way we play is exciting and fast, and the calibre of players we have on our team; Im not surprised at all that people loved it.dddddddddddd think weve definitely won them over. The reception we got when we came home was just incredible, especially in the non-traditional rugby states of Australia. They all seemed to get behind us as well.Caslick capped an extraordinary 2016 when she was crowned the World Rugby Womens Sevens Player of the Year, the highest individual honour in the games shortened form. ?Its awesome, Caslick said. Its sometimes hard to get individual accolades, especially in a team sport, but its obviously a representation of how well the team performed this year.Without the girls out there I cant do my job properly. I definitely think its a representation of how we went [this season], and our style of footy we play allows me to play my best I guess.Caslicks response to the award was typical of her down-to-earth personality, but her work off the field certainly reflects her caring nature.Working alongside Australian mens Sevens player Jesse Parahai with his company Sense Rugby, the 21-year-old helps children with learning difficulties in providing an opportunity to experience team sports, something they may not otherwise get the chance to do. And she does it purely because she loves kids.Its an awesome group to work for, Caslick said. I love children and theyre kids who struggle to take instructions at a young age, so this gives them a chance to form their own teams or communities.Sometimes these kids can get left behind when it comes to team sports, but weve already seen some kids go back to play with their old teams.Despite a huge 2016 that involved the team winning almost every medal and award, Caslick was disappointing the Aussie side wasnt nominated for World Rugbys Team of the Year Award.It was a little bit disappointing [not getting nominated], considering we achieved the exact same goals of what Fiji had done, she said. But I guess, the position Fiji were in, to win their countrys first gold medal ever...Its disappointing, but were not there to win awards. Im sure the girls will go out next year and just keep playing footy and enjoying what we do. All of that stuff comes when youre just having fun and that breeds success.Back after a short break, Caslick has returned to training and is focused on the 2016/17 World Series, with the Australians kicking off their title defence in Dubai.Can 2016 be topped?We have to go back-to-back now, Caslick said.? The New Zealand womens team have won back-to-back World Series.So for us, this season, its all about character and backing up what weve done in the last season.? We definitely dont want to be one-hit-wonders, so we want to go out there and just keep our consistency up. ' ' '
