ARLINGTON, Texas -- Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez had only been able to watch the previous three games when Texas rallied late for a victory each time.With one swing of the bat Thursday, Gonzalez gave the Rockies their own late comeback victory over the AL West-leading Rangers.Gonzalez delivered a pinch-hit, bases-clearing double into the left-center field gap to cap a five-run rally in the eighth inning, and the Rockies won 12-9 on a steamy day in North Texas.It was the perfect scenario for me. Thats what I work for, for moments like that, said Gonzalez, a two-time All-Star who hadnt played since coming out of the second inning Monday night because of a nagging sprained left ankle. Im glad I got the job done, especially with all the tough losses against the Rangers. That was good for us to get away from the little bad streak.The Rangers had won five straight, including the three against Colorado when scoring the deciding runs in the eighth inning or later each game. After trailing 4-0 early Thursday, Texas had just taken the lead with a four-run seventh before the Rockies had their big rally.All things considered, what weve been through the last four or five days, manager Walt Weiss said, agreeing to the suggestion of it being the Rockies grittiest victory of the season. It happens again today -- 105 degrees out there, and we still fight our way back.David Dahl drew a bases-loaded walk from hard-throwing Matt Bush to tie the game the game at 9 with two outs before Gonzalez came up, hitting in the No. 5 spot that Mark Reynolds had started the game. Reynolds came out after aggravating his already-aching left hand on a swing while batting in the seventh.Weiss speculated that Reynolds could end up on the disabled list because of the hamate bone that has been bothering him for a couple of weeks. X-rays were inconclusive, but Reynolds will get an MRI on Friday.Reynolds, who described his teams comeback as unbelievable, was near the Texas clubhouse getting X-rays when Adrian Beltre and Mitch Moreland hit consecutive homers to open the Rangers four-run seventh. Elvis Andrus had a tiebreaking RBI double before Ian Desmonds grounder got another run in for a 9-7 lead.Colorado got started in the eighth when lefty Jake Diekman (3-2) gave up a walk and consecutive singles to left-handed hitters before Bush relieved him.Diek just lost a little feel for the strike zone. ... Tough day for him, manager Jeff Banister said.Scott Oberg (1-1), the third of five Rockies pitcher, got the win despite allowing two runs in his inning. Adam Ottavino struck out the side in the ninth for his first save.Charlie Blackmon homered, doubled and singled twice. The Colorado leadoff man crushed a 455-foot homer to center on the second pitch of the game and had an RBI double in the fourth.Rougned Odor had an RBI triple and a two-run homer for the Rangers. His 22nd homer in the fourth got Texas within 6-5.It was a gritty game by us, them, too, Desmond said. They grinded just hard as we did and came out on top.RECORD STARTDahl, a rookie who has been with the Rockies for just more than two weeks, matched a modern-day major league record by extending his hitting streak to start his career to 17 games with a single in the first. Chuck Aleno began his major league career with a 17-game hitting streak in 1941 for the Cincinnati Reds.SHORT HOPSThe game took 4 hours, 3 minutes to play, and 10 pitchers (five for each team) combined to throw 402 pitches. ... The announced attendance of 20,720 was the smallest for a Rangers home game this season.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: RHP Chad Qualls, out since July 16 because of colitis, said he has lost 16 pounds but is now on a normal diet.

Well, this is Buccis Hat Trick Challenge. Whats the challenge part? Regularly coming up with three hits about the World Cup of Hockey. Tuesdays games are Team Finland versus Team?Sweden?(3 p.m., ESPN) and Team Canada versus Team USA (8 p.m., ESPN).1. A must-win for?Team USA against Canada: Lose, and the Americans 2016 World Cup of Hockey trophy hopes are over. The desperation will make for an absolute mosh pit on ice. This will be the hardest-hitting game of the World Cup, and I think there is a pretty good chance that gloves will drop. Offense will be the challenge for the U.S., as it tries to deal with the speed of the Canadian back checkers and with International Goaltender of Mystery Carey Price,?who has supernatural powers while playing for Team Canada. USA Hockey has been researching and studying how the United States can produce more offensive talent, considering its large population. Now, if there was no U23 team,?Johnny Gaudreau, Auston Matthews,?Shayne Gostisbehere,?Jack Eichel, Brandon Saad,?etc., would be available and on the USA team here in Toronto, rather than playing to Team North America. So, the future of USA Hockey appears to be more potent. This years Team USA went old school. Will it work? It can. Yes, Canada has a little more skill and speed --and that will usually win and probably will win Tuesday. But, when there is a goalie and lots of will, that deficit can be shrunk enough to win.2. Heres the situation: I spent some time in The Situation Room during my time in Toronto. The Surveillance Room migght be a better term for it.dddddddddddd Every night during the NHL regular season (and during this World Cup), every game is monitored for possible video-review resolutions. Cameras along the bluelines, inside the net and drilled inside the crossbars, assist in the resolution of puck-over-the-line, offside and goalie-interference calls. Missed penalties and other data is also accumulated for referee reports. The atmosphere inside the room is a flatline, almost military-like (outside of the Uber Eats) in its dispassionate watching of the game. One change you might notice outside of the room is a larger monitor (its now laptop-sized) for NHL referees to look at when they analyze a reviewable situation.3. Hockey talent continues to improve exponentially. The speed and skill, yes, but also how these young players dont shrink. Team North America rose to the occasion late versus Russia. Yes, the North Americans lost, but that last 60 seconds was filled with fast and furious skill. Gostisbehere had that same look in his eye that he had in the 2014 NCAA Frozen Four, when he dominated the ice during his epic +7 performance for Union College. Those 360-degree, tape-to-tape backhand passes, and that slap shot -- like a purred Dustin Johnson drive -- that hit the post like a sledgehammer on steel? You want your kids play to resemble that one day? Then think skill, skill, skill -- not win, win, win. More fun practices and fewer long-distance games.
