Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado increased his home run lead, as he cranked out a solo shot in the first inning of Thursday's 4-3 win over the Padres.
Arenado is on some kind of tear right now. He has homered in two of his last three games, and has eight longballs in 11 games this month. And it's not just a power display for the stud third baseman. He's batting .432 with three doubles so far in September.
