the next play trailing Nelson across the end zone, leavin

DENVER -- Chris Rusin was fine with being part of history. He would have liked to have gotten a win along with it, too.Ichiro Suzuki tripled off the wall off Rusin for his 3,000th career hit in the major leagues, becoming the 30th player to reach the milestone as the Miami Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7 Sunday.The 42-year-old Suzuki got his big hit in the seventh inning. He became the first player born in Japan to reach 3,000, and joined Paul Molitor as the only players to hit the mark with a triple.Congratulations to him, Rusin said. All I ask for is a signed bat in return. Its crazy to be a part of.Suzukis milestone overshadowed a big day from Nolan Arenado, who homered twice and drove in five runs for Colorado. Arenado leads the NL in home runs (29) and RBI (87).I wanted to see him get it done but I wish we were winning by a lot and it was looper or something, Arenado said.Adam Conley (8-6) allowed six runs in five innings. Fernando Rodney worked the ninth for his first save since coming to Miami on June 30 and 18th overall.Jon Gray (8-5) was roughed up for eight runs on 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings.Suzuki was hitless in his first three at-bats of the game before he tagged Rusin.Suzuki launched a long drive to right field that carried just beyond the reach of leaping Gerardo Parra, and breezed into third standing up.Third base coach Lorenzo Bundy hugged Suzuki as Miami players came out of the dugout to congratulate him. He waved his helmet to acknowledge the cheers at Coors Field.Hitting coach Barry Bonds gave him a hug as the celebration at third base ended, and Suzuki got another round of applause when he scored on Jeff Mathis single, as well as a hug from manager Don Mattingly.Suzuki gave the crowd a wave as he went into the dugout. He batted again in the ninth and drew a walk.Im disappointed with giving up a triple, Rusin said. Id rather it had been a single. It was cool that he got a hit but it wasnt cool that he scored.The Rockies had trimmed an seven-run deficit to 8-6 before Suzukis triple and run made it 9-6. Gray struggled and had his shortest outing in three months.Theres nothing that went right today, Gray said. I pretty much lost us the game and lost us the series.Greeted with cheers every time he came to bat, Suzuki struck out in the first inning, hit a comebacker in the third and grounded out to short in the fourth.At 42 years, 290 days he is the second-oldest player by three days over Ricky Henderson to reach the milestone. Only Cap Anson, who was 45 when he got his 3,000th hit in 1897, was older.Rene Lachemann, Colorados catching coach, went over to give Suzuki a hug as he left the field after the game.Its an amazing accomplishment, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Its a lot of hits in a relatively short period of time.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Parra was activated from the 15-day DL and INF Rafael Ynoa was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.

PETERSBURG, Fla. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers moved right out of the pocket, found Davante Adams running down the right sideline and tossed a perfect pass into his receivers hands.Adams cut left as his defender slipped before racing to the end zone for a tone-setting touchdown on the opening drive of a decisive 38-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. On that same play, Rodgers hurt his right calf .Rodgers finished with 246 yards and three scores before leaving early in the fourth quarter with his team up by 25. Dont think for one minute that Rodgers plans to miss any time.The Packers (7-6) won their third straight game to keep their playoff hopes alive.Thats football. You deal with injuries, you know . Id like to talk about the win, youre talking about my injuries, Rodgers told reporters. Im not missing games, so ... weve won three in a row.The Packers are two games back of first-place Detroit in the NFC North, but play division opponents in the last three weeks of the season.Rodgers, who is already playing with a sore left hamstring, finished 18 of 23. He was sacked just once, an impressive accomplishment for a Packers offensive line against a formidable defense for Seattle (8-4-1).Aarons a great player. Frankly, he spoils us all, coach Mike McCarthy said.Green Bay gained 330 yards in Seattles first game without former All-Pro safety Earl Thomas, who is out for the season with a broken leg.The Packers defense flustered Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, who threw a career-high five interceptions.Obviously, we cant turn the ball over and I put that on me. That game was on me, Wilson said.He finished 22 of 39 for 240 yards and a touchdown. Two interceptions came off passes that deflected off receivers hands, including one that caromed off Doug Baldwins helmet to cornerback Damarious Randall.It was a stunning turn for Seattle a week after blowing out Carolina 40-7. The Seahawks missed out on a chance to clinch the NFC West following Arizonas loss to Miami earlier Sunday.This is such a rare occurrence for our team, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Its just something at this time we have to push behind us and get going.DEFENSE RESTSMost of the focus about defense going into the game was about Seattles league-best unit, but the Seahawks gave up a season high points.The Packers dominated, miixing in a few blitzes and getting effective pressure on Wilson most of the game against a shaky offensive line.dddddddddddd It was an impressive showing without starting linebackers Nick Perry (hand) and Blake Martinez (knee). Outside linebacker Clay Matthews (shoulder) was limited mainly to passing downs.OUT IN FRONTGreen Bay had a 21-3 lead at halftime, reminiscent of the way the Packers built big leads on opponents in recent dominant seasons. Theyve scored first each time in their three-game win streak.Obviously it makes a difference. It means were being successful, were scoring points, receiver Jordy Nelson said. We saw what happens when our defense can play with a lead.The Packers look nothing like the team that suffered back-to-back blowout losses at Tennessee and Washington a few weeks ago.WRIGHT WRONGSeattle linebacker K.J. Wright slipped on consecutive plays in the second quarter, and the Packers took advantage each time. He was covering Ty Montgomery in the flat on a pass that turned into a 24-yard gain to the Seattle 9. He slipped again on the next play trailing Nelson across the end zone, leaving the receiver open for a touchdown pass and a 21-3 lead with 5:15 left in the first half.We had the right cleats on, it was just terrible, defensive lineman Cliff Avril said about the footing. He said it got worse as the game progressed.The field was covered by a tarp until about 90 minutes before the game. By that time, the snow had mainly subsided in Green Bay.RECORDRodgers threw two touchdown passes to Nelson. They have connected on 57 TD passes overall, tying Hall of Famer Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman for the most touchdown passes from a quarterback to a receiver in franchise history.INJURY REPORTTE Jared Cook left the game with a chest injury following an incompletion deep down the left sideline with 1:55 left in the second quarter.UP NEXTSeahawks: Have a quick turnaround with a Thursday night home game against the Los Angeles Rams.Packers: Begin their season-ending stretch of three straight NFC North games with a trip to Chicago on Dec. 18 to play the Bears.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .
