Non-Rocky Mountain high

The Rockies haven't had much offense to boast away from Coors Field in their history, but they tied a National League record Wednesday by scoring in every inning of their 13-6 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Only six other teams have scored in every inning of a nine-inning NL game. The Cardinals last accomplished the feat on Sept. 13, 1964, also against the Cubs. The New York Giants are the only other team to do so in the 20th century, pulling it off June 1, 1923, against Philadelphia.

Amazingly, no American League team has scored in each inning of a nine-inning game. Four AL home teams scored in the first eight innings, but didn't get the chance to bat in the ninth.

The Cubs scored their runs over three innings, leaving the clubs two innings short of the 20th-century record of most innings scored in by both teams in a nine-inning game. Two NL teams have scored in 14 half-innings four different times.

The Rockies enter Friday's game against Philadelphia with runs in 13 consecutive innings, one short of the NL record.

Playing to Gwynn

Tony Gwynn isn't just threatening to join history with his 3,000th hit later this month. He's racing it.

Wade Boggs stood at 2,943 hits through 2,370 games entering Wednesday. Cal Ripken stands at 2,883 hits after 2,712 games.

Hitting for nothing

While Giants infielder Jeff Kent hit for the cycle Monday at Pittsburgh, Jason Kendall also pounded out a five-hit game. The reason the Pirate catcher's effort went unnoticed is that it didn't mean anything.

Kendall went 5-for-5 with neither a run scored nor a run batted in, a fantasy owner's bittersweet linescore. It's just the eighth time since 1970 a player went 5-for-5 without a run scored or driven in. The last player to accomplish the feat was Jeff Blauser on June 10, 1996.

It also marked the first time in 30 years that two players on opposing teams had five-hit performances in the same National League nine-inning game. Cincinnati's Johnny Bench and Philadelphia's Deron Johnson went 5-for-6 in a 19-17 Reds win on Aug. 3, 1969.
