#Rockies fans have been waiting for third baseman Nolan Arenado's power bat, and it showed in a win over the #SFGiants , as the Rox have matched their best nine-game start (7-2).

Before the game, I put together three reasons why first baseman Daniel Murphy is playing the way the #Rockies expected when they signed him before last season for two years and $24 million: https://www.mlb.com/rockies/news/daniel-murphy-healthy-productive
Since you can't get enough of Daniel Murphy, here he is driving in the game's first run, off the #Giants' Johnny Cueto https://www.mlb.com/rockies/video/daniel-murphy-s-rbi-single-x2829?t=t115-default-vtp
Much of the praise goes to the left side of the #Rockies ' infield, with Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story, but how about the middle of the outfield? Center fielder David Dahl is making big catches with regularity. https://www.mlb.com/rockies/video/david-dahl-s-tumbling-grab?t=t115-default-vtp
Arenado's two-run homer got things going, but Dahl's RBI single -- and a wild throw and a home plate that the #SFGiants somehow neglected to cover -- gave the #Rockies the lead for good. https://www.mlb.com/rockies/video/david-dahl-s-go-ahead-single?t=t115-default-vtp
There is no such thing as an oh-by-the-way run at Coors. Chris Owings' first homer in Purple Pinstripes gave the #Rockies just enough runs. https://www.mlb.com/rockies/video/chris-owings-solo-home-run-x1271?t=t115-default-vtp
Jairo Díaz's ninth inning was more exciting than #Rockies fans may have wanted, but he closed out his second straight save with the tying run at third base. https://www.mlb.com/rockies/video/jairo-diaz-gets-the-last-out?t=t115-default-vtp
