DENVER -- Its hard to say what was more shocking: Nolan Arenado failing to come through in the clutch or the Gold Glove winner committing a throwing error.Neither happens happen often to the All-Star third baseman, who is generating some MVP buzz for the season hes having.Arenados errant throw paved the way to a game-altering inning as the Colorado Rockies lost 5-3 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. He also lined out to end the game with the potential tying runs on base.That spoiled a fine outing by Tyler Anderson (5-6). The rookie allowed five runs -- two earned -- in seven solid innings and is 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA in 12 starts at Coors Field.He ended up getting through seven, so it was a good outing, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.The slick-fielding Arenado made a costly throwing error in the fourth with the score tied at 2. Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez then delivered two-out, two-run double, and Matt Carpenter added a run-scoring single.We have seen (Arenado) make that play. He makes it look easy and that wasnt an easy play, Weiss said. And then the throw was a little high. It was a tough play.In the ninth, pinch-hitter Ryan Raburn hit a solo homer off Kevin Siegrist to make it 5-3. After allowing a single to Charlie Blackmon, Siegrist struck out DJ LeMahieu before walking Carlos Gonzalez.That brought up Arenado, who flied out to left field to end the game.Arenado drove in a run earlier, giving him an NL-best 124 RBI. He also leads the league in homers (38), which is why Weiss believes Arenado should garner some MVP votes despite playing on a 72-78 squad.One of the best players in the league, Weiss said. But I dont think this will be the last time hes in that conversation.LeMahieu finished 2 for 4 to raise his average to .349 and take a slight lead over Washingtons Daniel Murphy in the NL batting race. Murphy is hitting .348.Martinez labored most of the game. Not with his pitches, but catching his breath.He threw five effective innings despite struggling to take a deep breath in the thin air. Martinez, who turns 25 on Wednesday, gave himself an early birthday present by holding Colorado to two runs while striking out six. The right-hander is 9-1 on the road this season.The altitude affects everybody a little differently, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. It affected him today, for sure.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: There are no plans for surgery on the broken left hand of 1B Mark Reynolds after he was hit by a pitch Sunday, ending his season. Its a tough break for Mark, Weiss said.HOLD THE ONIONSA launched baseball in batting practice left a burger joint in quite a pickle.The Helton Burger Shack located behind the bleachers in left field was closed Monday after a ball broke the glass protecting the prep area.No official word on whose liner actually broke the window pane -- Twitter conversations credited injured Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday -- but it wasnt the restaurants namesake; Todd Helton retired after the 2013 season.BAD BLOOD?The Rockies have some history with Martinez. In July 2015, things got a little heated after he hit LeMahieu with a pitch.Martinez didnt think there was any purpose to a pitch that plunked him Monday night, even though it did sting.I dont think it was any retaliation. That happened last year. Its a new year, Martinez said through a translator. I wouldnt like to think that. I think it just got away.Anderson downplayed it, too.It was a ball that cut and hit him in the shin, he explained.UP NEXTCardinals: With 132 wins, RHP Adam Wainwright (11-9, 4.51 ERA) tries to move closer to tying Dizzy Dean (134) for sixth on the teams career list.Rockies: LHP Jorge De La Rosa (8-8, 5.22) is 4-0 with a 4.01 ERA in four starts against St. Louis at Coors Field.

Toronto FC hosts the three-time Italian league champions in a friendly Aug. 7 at BMO Field, a game that Roma CEO Italo Zanzi said falls within a key part of their pre-season. "This is a major part of preparation for the season, this is not a vacation," Zanzi said at a news conference Wednesday in Torontos Little Italy. "Its a real competitive endeavour and something that also ties into our global brand building. Our first team will be on our tour, our first team will be playing, it is pre-season so like any other franchise, youre going to be resting players, trying out players, but were going to have our first team all throughout our tour." The storied Italian franchise that was founded in 1927 will travel to Toronto after playing the MLS all-star game on July 31 in Kansas City. The Italians will play another North American game, which is yet to be announced. So Roma fans can expect to see Italian stars Francesco Totti -- who has been at the club for over 20 years -- and Daniele de Rossi, although de Rossi has been linked to Chelsea in a possible summer move. "This is going to be a real match for us, we are going to be in the midst of intense preparation for next season," Zanzi said reiterated. "We have a new coach (Rudi Garciia), we have players who are ready to go, so we are going to take this match very seriously.dddddddddddd "We intend to play our first team, from a competitive standpoint we want to win, obviously were going to be evaluating players, but overall this isnt a situation where were bringing anything but our very best." For Toronto FC, the friendly is sandwiched between two MLS regular-season games -- Aug. 4 at New England and Aug. 10 versus the visiting Seattle Sounders. TFC president and GM Kevin Payne insisted the timing isnt a problem -- Toronto would run hard in training on that Wednesday regardless. He said Toronto will also field its starters. "I dont think our first team or Romas first team is going to be playing 90 minutes, but well see the first teams on the field against one another," he said. Zanzi and Payne said the fit is ideal in a city that boasts half a million Italians. "Toronto, as a very cosmopolitan city, boasts one of the largest Italian populations in the world outside of Italy," Payne said. "And we expect that unfortunately for us perhaps, we may not be the home team at this game. Well see about that, but there will surely be some people cheering for AS Roma." Toronto has hosted numerous European clubs in the past, including Liverpool, Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Bolton. ' ' '
