Colorado Rockies third basemen Nolan Arenado had a big day at the plate in the team's first Cactus League victory on Saturday, going 2-for-2 with a double and a three-run shot.
Arenado and the Rockies wasted no time getting on the board against Chicago Cubs starter and former Rockies hurler Jason Hammel. Colorado had trouble putting any sort of offense together in its first three games of the spring, but that changed quickly on a sun-splashed day at Salt River Fields:
