On the day that Trevor Story missed a cycle by a double, Nolan Arenado had one of the best days in Rockies history.
Arenado clubbed three home runs as part of a five-hit day, one of the best games by a hitter in Rockies history. It was Arenado’s first three-home-run game. He is the first Rockies player with a five-hit, three-homer game. His 14 total bases tied the team record, matching the 14 Jeff Cirillo had in 2000 and Larry Walker had in 2004. Arenado’s seven RBIs matched a career high and gave him the major league lead with 80 this season.
Arenado also passed two Rockies legends in multi-home-run games with the team. His 12 rank seventh in franchise history, one ahead of Matt Holliday and Troy Tulowitzki.
Since the start of the 2016 season, Arenado left the rest of the majors in the distance with his 213 RBI. He is the only player to crack the 200 RBI level in that time.
Colorado beat San Diego 18-4.
