3B Nolan Arenado cemented his position as one of the game's superstars and maybe its best two-way player. He is in line to win his fourth consecutive Gold Glove. Highlight-reel plays are virtually a daily occurrence for Arenado, who has extraordinary first-step quickness going to his left or right, an uncanny ability to charge and barehand slowly hit balls and a very strong and exceedingly accurate arm. For the second consecutive season, Arenado both tied for the National League lead in home runs, hitting 41 this year, and led the majors in RBIs, collecting 133 in 2016. Arenado reached career highs in batting average (.294), hits (182), triples (six), runs (116) and walks (68), and the latter figure helped his on-base percentage rise to a career-high .362.

3B Nolan Arenado played in a career-high 160 game on Sunday. He batted .294, led the majors with 133 RBIs and tied Milwaukee's Chris Carter for the National Leauge in home runs with 41. "I had a two-homer lead going into the series," Arenado said. "Got to give him credit, he tied me up. But it's cool. To lead in anything is unbelievable. I'm very thankful. I know it'd be cool to win by myself, but at the same time, he's had a great year for himself. He earned it. I'm just happy I had another good year."

His first three hits came against top prospect Lucas Giolito, who was making his fourth MLB start but appeared to lose some velocity Sunday as opposed to previous outings. "Obviously in the reports we were reading he throws 95 to 97(miles per hour). On video (Sunday) it wasn't that," Arenado said. "With his length the ball gets on you. It is not a comfortable at bat, I will say that. It is not comfortable."

3B Nolan Arenado did not play. Manager Walt Weiss said Arenado didn't really get an All-Star break since he played in the All-Star Game. Weiss rested Carlos Gonzalez, who also played in the All-Star Game, on Tuesday and said he was looking to do the same with Arenado. In 16 games this month, Arenado entered Thursday hitting .242 (15-for-62) with two homers and six RBIs. When it was suggested that Arenado looked a bit worn out and was scuffling, manager Walt Weiss said, "That's one of the reasons he's got a night off. Physically Nolan holds up very well. But this game, it's more of a mental grind than anything else." When asked whether the night off might recharge Arenado's batteries, Weiss said, "That's the plan."
