There was no Sunday hangover for the Rockies. After a crushing 8-4 loss Saturday night, they rebounded with a 5-2 victory over the Phillies to take the three-game series. Philadelphia lost its first series since April 1-3 vs. Cincinnati, snapping a streak of 15 straight series with a win or split. Right-hander Cal Quantrill once again delivered the goods for Colorado, making his fifth consecutive quality start.

With his left hand in a splint and heavily wrapped, Jordan Beck was still coming to grips with his injury on Sunday morning. “It’s a tough ticket,” the Rockies rookie outfielder said. “Stuff happens and you just have to get through it and move on.” Beck broke the fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand in the Rockies’ 8-4 loss to the Phillies on Saturday night at Coors Field.

LOVELAND — As he coats a mold of Jackie Robinson with wax, metalsmith Alex Haines reflected on the extra importance of a project that will soon give the city of Wichita, Kansas, a replacement bronze statue of the baseball icon after thieves brazenly destroyed the original. “Many sculptures come through here,” said Haines at the Art Castings studio in Loveland where the original statue was cast.

Zach Parise called his time with the Colorado Avalanche amazing and special and said it “pushed me to a spot I didn’t feel I could still (get to)” shortly after a double-overtime Game 6 loss to the Dallas Stars last week. A few minutes later, Jonathan Drouin deemed his experience awesome and said, “It’s a great place to play hockey.” The Avs are going to have some recruiting to do this offseason, and those five-star reviews might come in handy.

If Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a $20-million guard, I’m Chris Hemsworth. But by Odin’s raven, somebody’s going to offer it. Which is why I have far more sympathy for the Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth than Chris MacFarland, his compatriot with the Avalanche, as they try to sort out the rubble this summer and make sense of where their respective seasons went wrong. While the Avs have largely been their own worst enemy, giving Gabe Landeskog’s limbo and Val Nichushkin’s demons as much runway as they need, the Nuggets have been knee-capped by forces outside their control.

Jerry DeVaul was lying in a puddle of water, his legs severed, when he made a vow to himself and the sky above. It was October 2011, and DeVaul was working at a mine in Trinidad after recently finishing his service in the U. S. Army when a coworker ran him over with a mining scoop — altering his life forever. DeVaul spent nearly two hours after that alone and critically injured, waiting for help and hoping for a second chance. Out of that trauma, and a bumpy road to recovery that included multiple detours, DeVaul eventually found his calling as a player and now president for Colorado Sled Hockey. “When I lost my legs, I made a promise to God that day that if I kept my life, I would inspire daily,” DeVaul recalled.
