WASHINGTON -- Even though the Colorado Rockies are all too accustomed to piecing together their lineup because of recent injuries, they were reminded Saturday what happens when their top players are healthy.Back in the lineup together for the first time since Aug. 17, Charlie Blackmon, DJ LeMahieu and Carlos Gonzalez combined to drive in six runs on seven hits as the Rockies beat the Washington Nationals 9-4 in 11 innings. Blackmon hit two home runs and Gonzalez his 200th as Colorado snapped a four-game losing streak.Theres nothing like having your horses in there, and it changes the game when youre at full strength, manager Walt Weiss said.NL MVP Bryce Harper was ejected in the 10th inning after getting called out on strikes. The Nationals star outfielder immediately yelled at plate umpire Mike Winters from close range and threw his helmet to the ground after being tossed.It just shouldnt happen, Harper said of Winters third-strike call. Just bad behind there. Its not a strike.After Jorge De La Rosa gave them five solid innings of three-run baseball with eight strikeouts, the Rockies went through plenty of twists and turns to win a game that took 4 hours, 49 minutes to play.Colorado scored a run on a wild pitch during an intentional walk, lost the lead with two outs in the ninth on an RBI single by Jayson Werth off closer Adam Ottavino and roughed up Yusmeiro Petit (3-4) for five runs in the 11th.With LeMahieu back after missing three games with a wrist injury, he and Blackmon combined to go 6 for 11 with three RBI and four runs scored.We missed some guys earlier in the road trip, said Blackmon, who has 23 home runs and five multihomer games. Its always a different lineup when DJs not in there, so to have him back was obviously a real good boost.LeMahieu went 3 for 5 to raise his average to .347 and pass the Nationals Daniel Murphy for the NL batting lead.This guy, hes a professional hitter, said Gonzalez, who hit his 24th home run of the season in the 11th off Petit. He knows how to put great at-bats out there and give everybody an opportunity to drive in runs.OTTAVINO OVEROttavinos streak of not allowing a run ended at 31 1/3 innings on Werths RBI single. Dating to Sept. 6, 2014, its the longest active streak in the majors.Its disappointing, obviously, when he got the hit, but the games over if the next guy gets a hit, said Ottavino, who got Murphy to ground out to send the game to extra innings. Im happy I got that guy out so we were able to do what we did and win the game.WALK THIS WAYNationals starter A.J. Cole allowed a run to score when he threw the ball away when trying to intentionally walk Daniel Descalso in the fourth.I havent seen an intentional walk go awry in a long time, manager Dusty Baker said. They were just going to say, `Take your base intentionally, but thats a reason you know for it not to.It got worse for the Nationals because De La Rosa had an RBI single on the next at-bat, extending his hitting streak to a career-best four games.VAMOS RAMOS SLUMPWith his RBI single in the fourth, Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos snapped a 1-for-23 slump. Ramos is the National Leagues best hitting catcher this season.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Weiss said RHP Tyler Chatwood (mid-back strain) will go on a rehab assignment with details still to be determined.Nationals: RHP Joe Ross, who has been out since early July with shoulder inflammation, will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.UP NEXTRHP Chad Bettis (10-7, 5.29 ERA) starts for the second time in 12 days against the Nationals, who will call up RHP Lucas Giolito (0-0, 4.91) to make his fourth career major league start.

Ronnie Lott Youth Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn changed the wording on star wide receiver Julio Jones injury Wednesday, referring to it as a sprain rather than turf toe.Julio has a toe sprain, its not turf toe, Quinn said in an interview on Atlantas 92.9 The Game radio. But he does have a toe sprain. For him, were going to take him day to day. Hell maybe do some of the walkthrough today, but he wont participate in the full-team activity at practice. So, hes still dealing with that sprain. Its definitely improving. But in terms of full-speed cutting on it, were not there yet.At a news conference on Wednesday afternoon, Quinn was asked about redefining Jones injury status.Honestly, just for me, I didnt have enough information medically to speak on it, he said. That certainly would have been a good thing to clear up last week, so I apologize for that.Quinn said the injury isnt a llong-term problem and that he expects Jones to be back shortly.dddddddddddduinn initially called Jones injury turf toe after Jones was injured a few weeks ago against the Kansas City Chiefs. Turf toe is a sprain of the ligaments surrounding the big toe.A sprain, however, could suggest a mild sprain to the metatarsophalangeal joint (big toe). Medical experts say such a mild sprain typically calls for one to four weeks of recovery.Jones missed the game Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.During the radio interview, Quinn also reiterated that wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (groin) will return to practice on Wednesday. Quinn did not offer any details on the status of cornerback Jalen Collins, who was scheduled to get his knee checked Monday. ' ' '
