Rockies infield prospect Rosell Herrera went 3-for-3 with a home run and a pair of walks in High-A Modesto's 8-4 loss to San Jose on Monday.
Herrera had three of just five total hits for the Nuts, who fell to 33-76. The 21-year-old Dominican has heated up a bit over his last 10 games, hitting .300/.349/.475 in that span.
David Dahl went 0-for-5 and struck out twice from the leadoff spot. He's now hitting .179 since his promotion. David Bergin and Duane Espy had the other two hits for Modesto. Both were singles.
Starter Ben Alsup lasted six innings and allowed six runs on nine hits and a couple of walks.\
Jean falls short of cycle
Grand Junction infielder Luis Jean went 3-for-4, falling a double short of the cycle in Rookie-level Grand Junction's 7-2 win over Idaho Falls.
Jean grounded out in his first at-bat, which came in the bottom of the third inning, but reached base three consecutive times after that. The 19-year-old shortstop hit an RBI triple in the fifth then singled, stole a base and scored in the seventh before launching a two-run homer -- his first of the year -- in the eighth.
Designated hitter Randy Reyes also finished with three hits and second baseman Wesley Jones added two. Carlos Polanco allowed two runs on five hits in seven innings, striking out four and walking two en route to his fifth victory.
