DENVER -- Trevor Story lined his fourth homer in three games, Tyler Chatwood allowed one hit over five erratic innings and the Colorado Rockies swept the Atlanta Braves with a 7-2 win Sunday.Nolan Arenado jumpstarted the offense with a three-run homer in the first and DJ LeMahieu added a solo shot in the fourth as the Rockies captured their 10th straight victory over the Braves at Coors Field.Story launched a two-run shot in the fourth a day after breaking the NL rookie record for most homers by a shortstop. He now has 27 this season and moves closer to the major league rookie record for a shortstop. Nomar Garciaparra had 30 with Boston in 1997.Chatwood (9-6) finished with an intriguing line: a career-high eight walks, one hit -- Freddie Freemans single in the first -- six strikeouts and no runs.Tyrell Jenkins (0-2) surrendered three homers and seven runs in 3 1/3 innings.Story wore out Atlanta pitching in the four-game series, finishing 7 for 14 with four homers and nine RBI. Hes one homer away from matching the Rockies rookie record set by Wilin Rosario in 2012.On top of that, Story made a sensational over-the-shoulder grab in shallow center to thwart a big second inning.Chatwood walked a batter in every frame and left after throwing 97 pitches, just 51 of them for strikes.Rockies reliever Gonzalez Germen surrendered both runs in the seventh. Freeman had an RBI double and Nick Markakis brought in the other on a grounder.This certainly helped set the tone: The Rockies sent 10 batters to the plate as part of a four-run first. Arenado had the big hit with a rare homer to right.Of course, the story of the day was the rookie shortstop. For the weekend, too. All season, for that matter, as Story began by hitting 10 homers in April, tying for most ever by a rookie.I dont like to look back on things right now, Story said. I just put my head down and work every day.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Julio Teheran threw from 90 feet Sunday and didnt feel pain two days after leaving a game early with tightness in his right lat. He remains hopeful he can make his next scheduled start. We still have to wait, Teheran said. I dont feel any pain and thats a good sign.Rockies: OF Gerardo Parra (sprained left ankle) looks real good, manager Walt Weiss said, and could head out for a rehab assignment as soon as this week. Hes got to pass a few more tests, Weiss said.EMULATING JUNIORIf Carlos Gonzalezs swing looks familiar, its because he modeled it after Ken Griffey Jr., who was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday.Even Gonzalezs bat drop after a homer is borrowed from Griffey.Im happy for him, said Gonzalez, who lives in Windermere, Florida, during the offseason and frequently runs into Griffey. He meant a lot for the game and part of the reason I swing the way I swing is because of him. Ive got to thank him.UP NEXTBraves: After Mondays day off, Atlanta plays a two-game series in Minnesota. RHP Lucas Harrell (1-2) goes for the Braves on Tuesday and RHP Ervin Santana (3-8) for the Twins.Rockies: LHP Jorge De La Rosa (6-7) takes the mound Monday to kick off a three-game series in Baltimore. Hes making his second straight interleague start. Ben McLemore Jersey . Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Gary Clark Jersey . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. https://www.rocketsrookiesshop.com/Anthony-Bennett-City-Edition-Jersey/ . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. Clint Capela Jersey . NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period. Russell Westbrook Jersey . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- A Chip Kelly-coached team is usually synonymous with a fast-paced and prolific offense.But in his first game as San Franciscos coach on Monday night, Kellys defense pitched its first opening week shutout in franchise history as the 49ers got a 28-0 win over the Los Angeles Rams.We felt good about our defense going into this game, but you never know until you get a chance to go out there, Kelly said. To hold (Todd) Gurley, who I think is one of the top backs in the league, to under 50 yards, I think thats a good day for us defensively.The game plan was to limit Gurley and force quarterback Case Keenum to beat the 49ers through the air. Gurley finished with 47 yards rushing on 17 carries while Keenum completed just 49 percent of his passes for 130 yards.If you cant stop the run in this league, you struggle to stop anything, defensive coordinator Jim ONeil said. Again, the guys up front did a great job. We played good team defense. Guys executed.Los Angeles had as many punts (10) as first downs. Keenum was intercepted twice and San Francisco outgained the Rams 320 yards to 185.NaVorro Bowman registered an interception, leaping to snag a deflectiion by defensive lineman Quinton Dial in the second quarter.dddddddddddd The turnover led to the 49ers second touchdown of the game.We went out expecting the Rams to play better than they did, Bowman said, expecting the Rams to get the ball in their playmakers hands. And the coaches did a great job with preparing us for this week. ... We did everything that we were supposed to do.The 49ers say their strengths defensively are depth and versatility. They rotated Gerald Hodges and Ray-Ram Armstrong at inside linebacker Monday in the heart of their 3-4 defense next to Bowman. They also tried three-safety formations, allowing second-year standout Jaquiski Tartt to play 16 snaps in a specialized role roving the middle of the field.It helps when youre trying to match up, and its a match-up league, Kelly said. People want to go big, we have the big personnel to go up against you. If youre going to go little, I think we can match up with you when you go little.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
