NEW YORK -- Jhoulys Chacin didnt pick up where he left off. Arian Foster Womens Jersey . Far from it, fortunately for him. Chacin made an impressive return from an extended absence and the Colorado Rockies backed him with a pair of sharp defensive plays, beating the New York Mets 6-2 Tuesday night. Chacin had not pitched in the majors since May 1 because of inflammation in his right shoulder. He came off the disabled list earlier in the day and held the Mets to one run and four hits in six innings, ending his seven-game losing streak that began last September. "It was so good, No. 1, to see him out there," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "Its been quite a while. Its been a long time." Chacin has showed plenty of promise in the past. Yet the 24-year-old righty had a 7.30 ERA when the Rockies shut him down more than 3 1/2 months ago. "I was trying to push too much," he said. Against the Mets, Chacin resembled the pitcher whos had "his fair share of success," Tracy said. "It was really fun," Chacin said. Chris Young retired the first 15 Colorado batters, but his throwing error on a sacrifice bunt by Chacin led to the Rockies scoring four times in the sixth. "That bunt cost us the game. Its frustrating," Young said. "Were here to win. Im certainly frustrated because I helped contribute to a loss." Centre fielder Dexter Fowler made a sparkling catch and hit a pair of RBI singles as the Rockies won their third in a row overall, and sixth straight at Citi Field. The Mets lost their last three, and gave away another run on a botched rundown. Chacin (1-3) twice got help on balls hit hard by David Wright. Fowler jumped to the top of the wall in left-centre to snare Wrights drive leading off the second. The Mets cleanup man later singled on Chacins final pitch, but left fielder Andrew Brown made a strong throw to cut down Ruben Tejada at the plate. Chacin walked none and struck out two. He threw 73 pitches, two under Tracys proposed limit in Colorados four-man rotation. "I really think, in reality, the kid went back to the drawing board and worked on a lot of things," Tracy said. Chacin also spun after Andres Torres broke early from second base in the fifth, making a throw that trapped him. Torres prolonged a rundown and was originally ruled safe as he made a dive back into second, then was called out. Mets manager Terry Collins was ejected for arguing. Torres hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh as the Mets scored against relievers Matt Reynolds and Josh Roenicke, ending an 18-inning scoreless streak by the Colorado bullpen. Young (3-7) struck out the first four Colorado hitters and had no trouble through the first part of the night. "We didnt do much offensively against Chris," Tracy said. "Actually, nothing through the first five innings." DJ LeMahieu opened the Rockies sixth with a grounder up the middle that Tejada gloved, but the shortstop had no play. It was an infield single, and the crowd gave Young a nice cheer for his perfect pitching to that point. Jonathan Herrera followed with a single that put runners at the corners. Chacin bunted and Young overthrew first base, allowing the tying run to score. Charlie Blackmon and Fowler hit RBI singles and a sacrifice fly by Ramon Hernandez made it 4-1. Fowler singled home a run in the eighth. In the ninth, with Brown on third and one out, Herrera hit a grounder and first baseman Ike Davis threw home. Brown retreated toward third, reversed course chased by Wright and scored on a high toss. Daniel Murphys sacrifice fly put the Mets ahead in the fourth. NOTES: Rockies OF Carlos Gonzalez was expected back from Venezuela late at night. He went on the bereavement after the death of his grandfather, and could be activated for Wednesdays game. ... Colorado SS Troy Tulowitzki (groin surgery) will see a doctor Wednesday to check on his progress, Tracy said. ... The Mets did not announce the results of the MRI on LHP Johan Santanas stiff back. An update was expected Wednesday, a day before his next scheduled start. ... Young is 0-4 at home this season. ... Chacin was 1-3 in minor league rehabilitation assignments before rejoining the Rockies. Andre Johnson White Jersey .

Arian Foster Blue Jersey . Johns IceCaps 3-0 in American Hockey League action Friday.

Justin Meram tied it for the Crew (3-4-2) in the 67th minute, 4 minutes after Dallas Zach Loyd was sent off for a second yellow card for his tackle on Meram. Meram struck from 35 yards after teammate Eric Gehrig stole the ball from Matt Hedges. Arian Foster Game Jersey . A dominant effort did the trick. Iguodala scored 23 points, Kenneth Faried had his eighth double-double of the season and the Denver Nuggets beat the struggling New Orleans Hornets 102-84 on Sunday night. J.J. Watt Camo Jersey . After surviving three tough innings, Richard not only settled down on the mound but drove in three runs to help the San Diego Padres rally for a 9-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. MINNEAPOLIS -- Another game won, another All-Star power forward dominated, Kevin Love stepped to the postgame television interview and delivered a bold statement. "This is my time right now," Love proclaimed. Its getting harder and harder to argue with that. Love had 39 points and 17 rebounds to carry the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 95-94 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. Darko Milicic had 13 points in a spot start for the injured Nikola Pekovic and Michael Beasley scored all nine of his points in the fourth quarter for the Wolves. But it was Love, the All-Star, 3-point shootout champion and perhaps budding MVP candidate, who put this young improving team on his back and willed them over the .500 mark at 20-19. He hit a jumper in Kenyon Martins face with 1:28 to play, then added what proved to be the game winner by bulling himself to the basket for a little flip shot that has become one of his staples. "You have to have confidence that you are going to get what you want," coach Rick Adelman said. "But the great thing about him is he gets what he wants and hes such a good free throw shooter that it all adds up." Love went 8 for 11 at the line and 5 for 10 from 3-point range and scored nine points on 4-for-6 shooting with four rebounds in the fourth. The versatility and shot-making set him apart from Clippers star Blake Griffin, who had a heck of a game of his own. Griffin had 26 points and 12 rebounds, but scored just four in the final period. He only took two shots in the period, went 0 for 4 at the line and picked up a costly technical foul when he jawed at referee Ken Mauer after pulling Luke Ridnour to the floor in one of the games many collisions near the basket. "I think there was a lot of frustration," Griffin said. "We have to do a better job of not letting that affect us. You dont want to say that one particular thing won or lost the game, but it very well couldve been. I have to do a better job controlling my emotions." Chris Paul had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds when he was fouled on a 3-pointer. He made the first two before missing the final one to let the game slip out of his hands. "I was perfect from the free throw line and I missed it," Paul said. "Its tough. I wanted it. I wanted the ball. I want to be in that situation. Ill tell you again, if Im in that situation again Ill go riight to the line. Brian Cushing Red Jersey. . I know Im going to make it every time I go to the line. Tonight, I didnt." Mo Williams scored 19 points for Los Angeles, which outrebounded Minnesota 52-43. Three of the Clippers 14 losses this season have come to Minnesota. Love scored 42 against long-time nemesis LaMarcus Aldridge and the Trail Blazers on Saturday night and won the day against another of his competitors for the label of best power forward in the game on Monday night. After the game he downplayed the significance of scoring 81 points against such superior competition. "I dont really think about that too much," Love said. Paul finished with 18 points and Derrick Williams scored 15 for Minnesota. The Timberwolves were playing without Pekovic, who was out with a sore right foot. They could have used their enforcer against the Clippers in a game that grew more physical as it went on. Every drive to the basket was met with a shot to the ribs, every screen set aimed at rattling a tooth or two loose, every jump shot contested with a hand in the face, and maybe more. Love scored 11 straight in the first quarter to get the Wolves going. He hit three 3-pointers in the surge to ignite a 17-2 run that put Minnesota in control. The Wolves led by 15 early in the second before the Clippers, who were playing the second night of a back-to-back that began with an overtime win at Houston, started to shove back. They got physical with Love down low, banging him around with Griffin, Reggie Evans and DeAndre Jordan and Paul and Eric Bledsoe used their strength on the perimeter to outmuscle Ricky Rubio and J.J. Barea. The Clippers ripped off two separate 10-0 runs in the final eight minutes to cut the deficit to one, 45-44, at the break. "It was tough," said Rubio, who had just four points, six assists and five rebounds. "If we want to fight to be in the playoffs we have to play at this level." NOTES: Mo Williams and Martin were game-time decisions because of minor injuries. Clippers F Ryan Gomes did not play because of an illness. ... It was the 13th time Love has scored 30 points this season, putting him one away from tying Tony Campbells single-season franchise record. ... It was the sixth sellout of the season for the Timberwolves, a suddenly hot ticket in the Twin Cities. They havent had that many since 2006-07 and hope to sellout five of the next six home games.
