WASHINGTON -- Two poorly placed fastballs created plenty of problems for Lucas Giolito and the Washington Nationals on Sunday.The rookie right-hander gave up consecutive home runs in the third inning to Colorados Nolan Arenado and David Dahl on fastballs as the Rockies earned a series victory with a 5-3 triumph.Giolito (0-1), one of baseballs top prospects, gave up four runs in five innings after his recall from Triple-A Syracuse earlier in the day. It was his fourth start of the season for Washington, and first since July 24.He was getting it over better today than he had in the past, said manager Dusty Baker, whose team has dropped six of eight. They didnt miss his fastball. That was the key. The two home runs were fastballs.Trea Turner, Wilson Ramos and Bryce Harper each hit solo home runs for the Nationals. But they could muster little else against Colorado starter Chad Bettis (11-7), who allowed two runs and five hits and struck out six over seven innings in his longest start since April 10. Adam Ottavino earned his second save.Both teams scored a run in the first inning, and the Rockies took the lead for good in the third when Arenado lined an 0-2 pitch to left for a two-run homer. Arenado, who went 4 for 4, has 35 home runs this season.I missed the spot pretty bad with the fastball, Giolito said. Its supposed to go up and in and I missed right over the plate. That happens with these hitters. I just have to be better about getting ahead of guys and finishing guys off with the pitch I want to throw and make sure I hit my spots.Dahl sent Giolitos next pitch into the stands in left-center to make it 4-1.Giolito said he was pitching better at Syracuse over the last month, but struggled with his command against Colorado. He departed after throwing 100 pitches.I was putting guys away a lot more efficiently than I did today, Giolito said. A lot of 0-2, 1-2 counts turned into 3-2, 2-2. I kind of let some at-bats get away from me when I was in the drivers seat and I could have made something happen. When Im 100 pitches-ish through five innings, then Im not pitching the way I should be pitching.Colorado added a run in the eighth inning when Washington reliever Koda Glovers wild pitch landed flush on the left shoulder of home plate umpire Mike Muchlinksi. As Nationals catcher Ramos checked on the crumpled umpire and searched for the ball, Daniel Descalso scored from second base for a 5-2 lead.I heard the impact and it was very hard and loud, so my initial reaction was to turn around and catch the umpire and see if he was all right, Ramos said. When I picked up my eyesight to look for the ball, I looked in the wrong direction and could not find it.Muchlinksi remained in the game.Harper homered off Colorado reliever Boone Logan to lead off the ninth, but Ottavino retired all three hitters he faced to end the Nationals rally.DIFO OPTIONEDTo make room for Giolito, the Nationals optioned INF Wilmer Difo to Double-A Harrisburg. Difo was hitting .257 with no homers and five RBI in 18 games with Washington.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: RHP Tyler Chatwood (10-8, 3.75), on the disabled list with a mid-back strain since Aug. 16, will have a rehab start Monday for Double-A Hartford at Richmond. Chatwood is expected to go five innings or about 75 pitches.Nationals: RHP Joe Ross (right shoulder inflammation) allowed one run on three hits in one inning Sunday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse.UP NEXTRockies: Colorado returns home to begin a three-game series against the Dodgers. RHP Jon Gray (8-6, 4.61) gets the nod for the Rockies.Nationals: RHP Tanner Roark (13-7, 2.99 ERA) faces Phillies rookie Jake Thompson (1-3, 9.78) in the first of 22 straight games for Washington against NL East opponents.

Air Jordan 4 Cheap Uk . -- Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Oliver was found dead at his Atlanta-area home Tuesday night, and a medical examiner said Wednesday that the ex-player committed suicide. The Carlton crowd told a different story but Blues coach Brendon Bolton fell short of guaranteeing Jack Silvagni another AFL match after a spirited debut.Silvagni, 18, was the youngest player on the field in Saturday nights 12-point loss to Collingwood but wasnt fazed by the occasion.He leapt into action with a mark and pass to set up Jed Lamb for the first goal of the match.It was a steadying moment for the baby-faced forward, who carried a weight of expectation into the game.Jack ensured the Silvagni name represented Carlton on the field for seven straight decades with his debut, following on from premiership-winning grandfather Sergio and fullback-of-the-century father Stephen.The crowd sensed whenever the teenage forward neared the ball in his long-sleeved guernsey as often favoured by his dad.They roared whenever he touched it.Two snaps for goal bounced into the arms of Collingwood defenders, meaning he would finish the night without a first major.But that waasnt entirely Collingwoods fault.dddddddddddd.Late in the final quarter, Silvagni showed his selflessness with a squaring pass after marking in the forward pocket, denying himself a chance to break the duck to give Bryce Gibbs an improved angle.Bolton was torn between praising Silvagnis 15-possession game and keeping a lid on it.Its step one in hopefully a really long career, he said.His workrate was solid. Hes running hard out the back, leading up to the ball carrier.In terms of a third generation at our club, its something to be excited about. I hope our members are excited about, but we still need to keep it really in perspective.To that end, Bolton wasnt about to pencil in Silvagni for next Sundays meeting with Adelaide.Were pleased with his first game ... but I like to really dissect and have a look on every part of that, he said.
