DENVER -- Mark Reynolds had never broken a bone until five weeks ago. Now hes done it twice, and his 2016 season is ending early.Reynolds homered but later had a bone in his left hand broken by a pitch in the Colorado Rockies 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.Reynolds broke the hamate bone in his left hand on Aug. 12 and it was surgically removed three days later. He bounced back quickly and returned to the lineup Aug. 31.This recovery wont be as quick.Reynolds was struck by Jose Dominguezs pitch with one out in the fifth inning.Thatll be it for him, manager Walt Weiss said. He worked hard to get back from that hamate very quickly and its unfortunate he wont be able to get to the finish line with us.It put a damper on Colorados sweep of the Padres. Tony Wolters had three hits and Chad Bettis pitched into the sixth for the Rockies.Its tough. Ive never broken a bone in my life and I have two this year in the same hand, Reynolds said. Going to get it better and get ready for next year.San Diego played a day after Yangervis Solarte lost his wife, Yuliett, following a battle with cancer. The third baseman was with his family Sunday and was on the minds of everyone in the organization.Adam Rosales paid tribute to his teammate with a jump and a clap at home plate after his homer in the second inning, mimicking Solartes home run celebration.We talked about it before the game today. If somebody hit a home run, wed do the alligator arm for Solarte, Rosales said. It was just a tribute. I feel like it would mean a lot to Solarte to know how much he means to us, how much his family means to the San Diego Padres.Padres manager Andy Green said before the game that there is no timetable for Solarte to rejoin the team.Everybodys heart breaks for him right now, Padres manager Andy Green said. Hes had infectious energy all year long, and when you can consider the circumstances of his life, its hard to fathom. So from our perspective, `Hey, whenever you want to be back, you can come back. If you dont want to be back in the last two weeks, you dont have to be back.But well continue to talk to him, offer our love and support, anything we can possibly do for his family from a logistics perspective.Before the game, the Rockies held a moment of silence for Yuliett.Im sure it was a tough day for them to play, Weiss said. You lose a family member, Im sure there are a lot of heavy hearts over there. It certainly puts things in perspective.Bettis (13-7) allowed three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. He won for the third time in his last four starts and helped himself with two walks and an RBI.Adam Ottavino pitched the ninth for his fifth save.Padres starter Jarred Cosart (0-4) ran into trouble in the fourth when the Rockies took control. Reynolds hit a two-run homer and the Rockies loaded the bases with a single and two walks.Dominguez walked in another run before giving up a two-run single to Carlos Gonzalez to make it 5-1.The Rockies made it 6-1 when Dominguez hit Reynolds and pinch-runner Gerardo Parra scored on Wolters single.Reynolds said he knew he was hurt right away.Ive been hit in my hand a lot before and I never felt this kind of pain, he said. I dont have a radiology degree but I could see that it was broken.Reynolds hand was heavily wrapped and he said it will be re-examined Monday.Wil Myers double in the sixth cut the lead to 6-3 after Bettis bases-loaded walk gave Colorado a five-run cushion.Cosarts last turn in the rotation was skipped after he left his start on Sept. 7 because of a strained right groin and hamstring.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: C Derek Norris didnt start because of a jammed finger but was available off the bench.UP NEXTPadres: LHP Clayton Richard (2-2, 1.51 ERA) makes his seventh start for San Diego when the Padres open a three-game home series with Arizona.Rockies: LHP Tyler Anderson (5-5, 3.65) opens a three-game series against St. Louis on Monday. The rookie is 5-1 with a 3.04 ERA in 11 starts at Coors Field. After an opening round upset loss to Luminosity Gaming in the Stage 2 playoffs, OpTic Gaming appeared to head into MLG Orlando motivated and hungry to reclaim its spot a top the competitive Call of Duty scene. Team EnVyUs, having won the Stage 2 playoffs, entered MLG Orlando looking to prove that its championship win wasnt a fluke.Both teams seemed destined to meet in the Grand Finals at MLG Orlando, with each team trying to walk away with the grand prize and a statement win heading into the biggest event of the year, Call of Duty XP.And like most events during the 2016 season, it was OpTic Gaming who emerged victorious. Heres a breakdown of the action that took place during the final day of MLG Orlando.Follow the Green Brick Road?Despite a terrific run through the upper bracket, Day 3 was a rocky road for Team eLevate. First, it was a 3-0 series loss to OpTic Gaming, in which Jared Nagafen Harrell and the rest of eLevate struggled to keep up in the slaying category. Moving down to a do-or-die matchup against Team EnVyUs in the lower bracket finals, eLevate struggled once more in the slaying category, dropping all three rounds en route to a tournament-ending loss. While eLevate has been one of the premiere Search and Destroy teams in the CWL, the team must improve in the respawn game modes such as Hardpoint and Uplink if it plans on making a dent at Call of Duty XP.EnVyUs, on the other hand, was excellent in the slaying category, relying on the entire roster to make critical plays during different junctions of its lower bracket run. Whether it was critical kills by Johnathan John Perez and Jordan Jkap Kaplan in the 3-1 lower bracket semifinal win over FaZe Clan, or a near dominating performance by Austin SlasheR Liddicoat in the aforementioned 3-0 win over Team eLevate, EnVyUs certainly followed up their Stage 2 win with a convincing performance at MLG Orlando. However, needing to win two best-of-five series over OpTic Gaming thanks to the double elimination format, EnVyUs entered the MLG Orlando finals in an unenviable position.Clash of the TitansIf EnVyUs was worn down and weary heading into its final matchup, the team certainly didnt show it, racing out ahead of OpTic Gaming 2-0 in the first best-of-five matchup.dddddddddddd Led by SlasheR and John, EnVyUs battled through a back and fourth Round 1 Hardpoint, and rallied from an 0-4 deficit in Round 2 Search and Destroy to claim a 6-4 win. But even with a series cushion in its back pocket, OpTic Gaming refused to fold, securing both Round 3 Uplink and Round 4 Capture the Flag to force a Round 5. Ian Crimsix Porter, who struggled during the first two rounds of the matchup, was huge during Round 4 Capture the Flag, securing three captures on his own while putting together a 26/14 KD. However, even with all the momentum going against them, Team EnVyUs would stave off elimination, securing a 6-3 Round 5 Search and Destroy win thanks in no small part to SlasheR, who finished with a terrific 13/5 K/D.Now, even with OpTic Gaming in the Grand Final and needing just one more series win to claim the MLG Orlando crown, EnVyUs appeared to run out of gas. First, another back and fourth Round 1 Hardpoint went the way of OpTic Gaming, as both Matthew FormaL Piper and Damon Karma Barlow put up over 40 kills. Then, it was the Crimsix show during a 6-0 Round 2 Search and Destroy win, in which the multi-time champion posted a 9/2 KD mark. And finally, with its opponents tournament lives teetering precariously on the edge, OpTic Gaming put the tournament away, riding an offensive assault by both Crimsix and FormaL en route to a 15-8 Round 3 Uplink win.Take nothing away from EnVyUs admirable run through the lower bracket. The players performance during MLG Orlando officially solidifies them as one of the best teams in the world and makes for yet another juicy storyline heading into Call of Duty XP.But like so many other events during Call of Duty: Black Ops III, it was OpTic Gaming who reigned supreme in Orlando. And its the Green Wall who look like the favorites heading into the world championships in September. ' ' ' layers currently in the top 15. The rest of the 60-player field will be determined by world rankings with a limit of two players per country.Among the players looking to qualify for Rio de Janeiro this week are Webb, who has extended her Hall of Fame career in hopes of making the Olympics. With Minjee Lee having secured one of Australias spots, Webb likely must finish at least in the top 10 to have any chance to pass Su Oh for the other. ' ' '
