DENVER -- Jason Hammel came to Coors Field on a roll but was roughed up by the Colorado Rockies.Nolan Arenado broke out of a slump in a big way, hitting two homers and driving in six runs Sunday to boost the Rockies to an 11-4 win over the Chicago Cubs.Arenado hit a three-run homer during a seven-run burst in the first inning that included three Cubs errors, then added another three-run drive in the fourth.Hammel (13-6) had been 6-0 with a 0.95 ERA since the All-Star break before getting hit hard. The Rockies scored 10 runs off him, six earned, in 3 1/3 innings.An oil painting it was not, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. We gave them too many opportunities and we made Jason have to get six outs (in the first inning). We started making too many mistakes and we put Jason behind the proverbial 8-ball.Addison Russell homered twice, his 16th and 17th, and Anthony Rizzo had two hits for Chicago.Arenado leads the majors with 104 RBI -- he had a big league-high 130 last year -- and tops the NL with 32 home runs.The All-Star third baseman was 1 of 16 on the Rockies homestand before getting four hits. He passed Cubs slugger Kris Bryant for the NL homer lead.Jorge De La Rosa (8-7) tossed eight innings and delivered a two-run single in the first as the Rockies quickly ended Hammels 22-inning scoreless streak.De La Rosa scattered four hits and struck out six in matching his longest outing since last Sept. 16. Russell was the only batter to reach second base against the lefty, who outpitched his former teammate.A lot of foul balls today off my slider and two mistakes to Arenado, Hammel said. That was pretty much the story.Well forget about it. Its not going to bother me. I was pitching great up until this point and its one of those outliers and we will just move on.Arenados first homer hugged the left-field foul pole to start the early outburst. Tony Wolters had a two-run double and De La Rosa added his single.Arenado singled in the second and drove Hammels first-pitch fastball into the left-field seats to make it 10-0 in the fourth.DJ LeMahieu also homered for Colorado.Thats the kind of game I really dont dwell on for very long, Maddon said. Once you (media) guys leave I promise you I going to crack open a Miller Lite and I am going to grab something to eat.Russell hit solo homers in the fifth and seventh, and the Cubs scored two more off reliever Matt Careerist in the ninth.The Cubs last run came when pinch-hitter Jorge Solar hit a foul popup between home and first and Rizzo ran in from third to an uncovered home plate.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: Solar didnt start after fouling a ball off his right knee in Saturdays win. Maddon said he didnt want to play him in the spacious Coors Field outfield.UP NEXTCubs: LHP Jon Lester (13-4, 2.86) opens the Cubs three-game series in San Diego on Monday.

"Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. Steven Adams Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. Detlef Schrempf Jersey .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder wants his team to be great defensively and was looking forward to testing that against one of the best defensive teams in the league.The Jazz were elite on that end of the floor Friday night.Gordon Hayward scored 24 points as the Utah Jazz beat the Atlanta Hawks 95-68. The 68 points were the fewest the Jazz have allowed this season and the fewest the Hawks have scored by 24. It was also the second lowest total in the NBA this season.We were focused on being disciplined, that was the main thing, Snyder said.The Hawks have now lost four of five after starting the season a red-hot 9-2.Hayward was unstoppable early and started the game making his first six shots. Utah used a 23-2 run early in the fourth quarter to put the game away as George Hill hit a pair 3-pointers and Rudy Gobert converted a three-point play.Hill finished with 23 and Gobert notched double-double No. 8 with 10 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks.The defensive end really helped us on the offensive end, too, Hayward said. Anytime you can get out to good starts like weve done the past couple nights, it gives you a boost of energy. It gets the crowd into it. It makes the game a lot easier.When we get easier shots at the rim, cuts and wide-open layups, it gives the team some juice. Gets that energy going. And gives you a bounce down on the other end, too.Dennis Schroder scored a team-high 16 for the Hawks (10-6) and Paul Millsap added 11. Atlanta shot just 31.3 percent from the field.The Jazz (9-8) won the second quarter 24-11 to push its lead to 48-34 at halftime. They used a 20-3 run to build the cushion, highlighted by a behind-the-back dribble, pull-up jumper by Hill followed by a 3-pointer from the veteran.Atlanta struggled offensively and simply couldnt get stops for long stretches.They are good at protecting the paint and protecting the rim, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. At some point you might want to maybe suck themm in and hit some guys for some open shots then you have to make them.ddddddddddddWhether it is four out of five (losses) or, I think we got beat pretty handily a couple of nights ago, so we need to figure out a way to get out of this quickly.Millsap added, (Gobert) had a part to do with it, but that is probably the worst layup display weve had for a while.TIP-INSHawks: Kyle Korver returned to the lineup after taking last game off to rest. ... Dwight Howard was held to four points on 2 for 9 shooting.Jazz: Boris Diaw made his fifth start of the season at power forward. Trey Lyles had started at the position the last two games. ... Utah won the rounding battle 55-40.THE DEALThe Jazz traded the No. 12 pick of the 2016 draft to the Hawks in a three-team deal that moved Hill from the Pacers and sent Jeff Teague to Indiana from Atlanta. The Hawks selected Taurean Prince with the pick.Hill entered the game averaging a team-high 20.6 points and 4.6 assists while the Hawks handed the keys to third-year point guard Schroder, who entered averaging 14.1 points and 5.5 assists.It doesnt take a genius to figure out that we can get better with a point guard, said Snyder about the trade. You saw that early this season with what George has been able to do.Budenholzer said hes happy with Schroder, but wants more consistency from the young player.QUOATABLEGobert was asked about Howard saying he played a prank on his mother, telling her he signed with Utah as a free agent instead of the Hawks. Howard said his mom cried at the news.I dont know, maybe she cried because she was happy, Gobert said with a smirk.UP NEXTHawks: Atlanta travels to face the Lakers on Sunday in game No. 2 of a four-game road trip.Jazz: Utah travels Monday to play the Timberwolves and their young corps highlighted by Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.
