Colorado Rockies rookie third baseman Nolan Arenado picked the perfect time Sunday to end a prolonged hitless stretch.
He singled home the go-ahead run in the sixth, and the Rockies scored what proved to be the winning run on a throwing error on the play as they beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in the rubber game of their series.
The Rockies, who managed just five hits, scored all their runs with two outs as they won consecutive games for the first time since June 28-29.
Arenado was 0-for-18 when he batted in the sixth against Edwin Jackson. Walks to Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer set the stage for Arenado, who had just three hits in his past 43 at-bats when he stepped in against Jackson and lined a run-scoring single up the middle.
"I just tried to look for something up, and luckily I got a pitch up and took the right swing, " Arenado said. "I've been kind of been getting out of my swing and out of my approach lately and that's what's gotten me in trouble. I've probably been swinging at bad pitches and not waiting for my pitch. "
Arenado's hit scored Gonzalez, and Cuddyer came around when center fielder Junior Lake threw the ball over catcher Wellington Castillo's head. The ball bounced off the backstop and rolled past Jackson and toward the Rockies' dugout on the first base side.
"I knew it was going to be high, " Jackson said. "It went past Welly's glove, and it hit off the wall. It's just one of those unfortunate plays. Junior Lake has a strong arm. It was a hard hit ball to center field, and I knew he was coming up gunning. I wasn't able to stop the ball. "
Jackson was 1-2 with a 15. 12 ERA in seven previous starts against the Rockies, but held them to four runs, three earned, in seven innings.
Colorado scored twice in the first when Charlie Blackmon doubled and scored on a single by Gonzalez, who came home on a double by Michael Cuddyer.
"It's probably as good as stuff he's had all year, " Cubs manager Dale Sveum said of Jackson. "The two walks kind of hurt him, otherwise he pitched really well. "
Jackson got 14 outs on ground balls and struck out five as his three-start winning streak ended.
Colorado's Tyler Chatwood flirted with disaster in his six innings of work but was able to minimize damage.
He struck out Lake with the bases loaded to end the first. In the fifth with two men on base, he retired Starlin Castro, who went 4-for-5, on a soft liner after.
In the sixth, he wasn't as lucky. Anthony Rizzo belted his 14th home run to lead off the inning.
A pair of singles, an errant pick-off throw by Chatwood and Darwin Barney's sacrifice fly tied the game at 2-2.
"The 3-1 slider to Barney, I was trying to get a miss-hit ball, " Chatwood said. "He got a little too much of it. "
Chatwood got out of the inning when Jackson grounded out, stranding runners on first and second.
With regular closer Rafael Betancourt back on the disabled list, Rex Brothers earned his fifth save despite giving up a ninth-inning run.
The Cubs went hitless in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position and 1-for-24 in the series in those situations.
"We're probably lucky to win one in this series, scoring three runs in each game and going 1-for-24 with runners in scoring position, " Sveum said.
