caller also uused his legs to expose the Roughriders

DENVER - Adam LaRoche has been scuffling this month. He hopes one swing will turn things around. LaRoche broke out of a July slump with a tiebreaking home run in the seventh, Anthony Rendon had three hits and the Washington Nationals rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 7-4 on Tuesday night. It was the Nationals fourth straight win and increased their NL East Division lead to two games over Atlanta, which lost to Miami on Tuesday. The win might have come at a cost after third baseman Ryan Zimmerman left the game in the sixth inning with a strained right hamstring. He is scheduled to have an MRI done Wednesday morning. "Its pretty sore tonight. Get the MRI, get some results tomorrow and see where were at," manager Matt Williams said. "Its concerning. Anytime you have to leave the game with a hamstring injury its concerning." Zimmerman missed 44 games with a fractured right thumb earlier this season but has played well since coming off the disabled list on June 3. "Hes swinging great, playing great, but we have to deal with it," Williams said. "Well see how he feels tomorrow and what the doctors say." Ian Desmond followed Mondays 5-for-5 performance with hits in his first two at-bats Tuesday for Washington. He was hit by a pitch in the sixth to reach base safely in eight consecutive plate appearances. The streak ended when he struck out in the seventh, but the Nationals had taken control on LaRoches three-run homer off reliever Rex Brothers. It was LaRoches first home run off a lefthander since May 28, 2013. "You swing hard enough enough times youre bound to run into somethings. Ive been playing long enough to know a lot of times it takes one swing," LaRoche said. "Ive been in a rut for a little while, my timings been out of whack, so this came at a good time." Nolan Arenado and Corey Dickerson homered for the Rockies, who have lost seven straight and remain tied with Texas for the worst record in the majors. Before the game the Rockies placed shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on the 15-day disabled list with a left hip flexor strain and recalled left-hander Yohan Flande. Tulowitzki is the third Colorado player in two days to hit the disabled list. First baseman Justin Morneau (neck) and reliever Boone Logan (diverticulitis) were put on the DL on Monday, adding to the long list of Rockies out of action. "Its unfortunate, its what Im dealt with, Ive been dealt many, many things in my career," Tulowitzki said. "This is just a bump in the road." Flande started well before faltering in the sixth. He allowed four runs on five hits and walked two in 5 1-3 innings. He left with a 4-2 lead and runners on the corners, but Colorados bullpen couldnt hold it. Zimmerman made it 4-3 with a fielders choice but left the game after hitting the first base bag hard trying to beat out his grounder. "Guys just coming back from the DL, getting his swing back and you hate to see that," LaRoche said. "Cross our fingers its nothing major." Wilson Ramos tied the game with an infield single, and then the Nationals broke it open in the seventh. Brooks Brown (0-1) walked Denard Span and Rendon singled. Brothers relieved Brown one out later and LaRoche pulled a 93-mph fastball into the Rockies bullpen to make it 7-4. It was his 13th of the season and his second hit of the night off a lefty. "When youre facing a bunch of lefties it can get you right again because you have to stay on the baseball," Williams said. Reliever Craig Stammen (1-4) pitched a scoreless inning to get the win. Rafael Soriano worked the ninth for his 23rd save. The Rockies took a 1-0 lead in the second on DJ LeMahieus RBI triple to right. Arenado made it 3-0 in the second with a two-run homer to centre. It was his seventh of the season and first since May 5. The Nationals got two back in the fourth before Dickersons solo shot to the upper deck off Jordan Zimmermann in the fifth made it 4-2. NOTES: LaRoche holds the franchise record for consecutive plate appearances reaching base safely with nine. ... LeMahieu finished with three hits. ... Washington RHP Stephen Strasburg (7-7, 3.55) will face Rockies LHP Jorge De La Rosa (10-6, 4.39) in the series finale on Wednesday. Nazem Kadri Jersey .ca!

Watch the game live on TSN1, 3, 4, 5 and TSN GO at 7pm et/4pm pt. Montreal is currently tied with Hamilton and Toronto for first place in the division standings, with regard to points earned heading into Week 14 action, although the Tiger-Cats still have a game in-hand. Perhaps even more remarkable than Montreals status is that of the RedBlacks who, despite having won just one game in 11 tries, are still in the hunt mathematically as well. Since winning only one of the first seven games on the schedule, the Als have shown signs of life in recent weeks with three triumphs in four outings. Against a Calgary team which was without its starting quarterback, Bo Levi Mitchell, the Alouettes put together a solid game plan and scored an upset at home as they more than doubled-up on the Stampeders with a 31-15 victory last weekend. Jonathan Crompton, the latest quarterback of record for the Als, converted 20- of-28 passes for 220 yards and two scores, while backup signal caller Tanner Marsh landed in the end zone on a one-yard run for the first points of the meeting in the second quarter. Controlling the ball for nearly 37 minutes, Montreal held the visitors to just 272 yards, picking off one pass and recovering a pair of fumbles. As for Ottawa, the latest addition to the CFL, it has bowed in eight consecutive outings since defeating Toronto by a scant 18-17 score at home back in Week 4. Against the Saskatchewan defense, the RedBlacks found plenty of holes to exploit, allowing them to generate a hefty 32 points and get the meeting into overtime. Unfortunately, the offense mostly dried up for Ottawa following the third quarter, leaving the squad with the hard-fought 35-32 double-overtime loss on the road last weekend. Henry Burris put up solid numbers as he converted 23-of-38 passes for 282 yards and three touchdowns, against just a single interception. The signal caller also uused his legs to expose the Roughriders as he gained 22 yards and tallied a major on four carries.dddddddddddd Wallace Miles caught just four passes for 35 yards, but he was able to turn those efforts into a pair of TDs for the visitors. Defensively, the RedBlacks held the Riders to a modest 345 yards of offense and kept the hosts off the board in the first overtime period before kicker Chris Milo connected on the game-winning field goal in the second OT, a 22- yard effort. Outside of last weekends display, the offense for the RedBlacks has been rather anaemic and is still last in the league with a mere 15.7 ppg. The program has scored a mere four rushing touchdowns, which means all of the pressure continues to fall on Burris and the slumping passing attack. Burris has managed to complete close to 60 percent of his attempts for almost 2,500 yards, but he has thrown almost as many interceptions (eight) as touchdowns (nine), and that is no way to build a successful squad. As if having a faulty defense were not enough, Ottawa is also last in the CFL in terms of yards allowed, giving up 388.4 ypg, which is almost 50 ypg more than the second-worst squad, Montreal (342.7 ypg). Opponents have connected on a league-high 65.8 percent of their pass attempts versus the RedBlacks and that has led to 26.6 ppg being scored by those foes, the second-highest average in the league behind only idle Toronto (27.1 ppg). Although the RedBlacks are new to the CFL this season, there is still an extensive history between Montreal and a program from Ottawa in the league, with the latter owning an 87-71-4 advantage, considering only regular-season meetings dating back to 1946. Late last month Montreal hosted the RedBlacks and came away with a 20-10 victory as Crompton threw for 245 yards and Marsh logged a rushing touchdown. Burris also threw for 245 yards for the RedBlacks, but the team generated a mere 60 rushing yards, compared to 183 for the hosts, and also committed 16 turnovers for a loss of 135 yards. The Als have now won three straight and eight of the last nine games played against a representative from Ottawa.
