Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Ties for NL homer lead

Arenado went 2-for-3 with his 27th homer, a walk, three RBI and three runs against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

He was lifted for a pinch hitter late with the game well in hand, or Arenado could have added even more to that sparkling line. He's now tied injured teammate Trevor Story for the National League lead in homers with 27, and his 82 RBI are good enough to lead the senior circuit. Considering how much contact Arenado makes and how thunderous it tends to be, it's stunning that he's been such a low-BABIP hitter (.272 this year, .287 in his career) despite playing in Coors Field for half his games. At some point in future seasons, more hits are going to start falling in for Arenado, and he's going to start contending for Triple Crown.
