DENVER -- Troy Tulowitzkis fingerprints were all over Colorados comeback, yet he was nowhere to be found in the clubhouse 45 minutes after the Rockies rallied past the Los Angeles Dodgers thanks to his season-best four RBIs and a spectacular defensive play in the ninth. Despite having knocked in seven runs in two days, the all-star shortstop was still in the video room dissecting his last at-bat, when he popped out and stranded an insurance runner on third base in the Rockies 9-7 come-from-behind win. Tulowitzki wasnt happy despite heading into the weekend with a .367 batting average and nine RBIs in June after hitting just .209 with 14 RBIs during a miserable month of May in which the Rockies tumbled from first place in the NL West. "Im still working through things. Im still trying to get better. Im not satisfied with where Im at," Tulowitzki said. "Im going to keep working until I find it and its going to be sometime soon here." Tulowitzki came up twice with the bases full and delivered a two-run double and a two-run single, the latter hit tying the game at 7 before Jason Giambi drew a bases-loaded walk to cap the comeback Thursday night. "I think the biggest thing is we got some hits with runners in scoring position, thats what weve been missing all year," Tulowitzki said. "Its nice to come up to bat with some runners in scoring position. I came up two times with the bases loaded and another time in the last inning that Im still a little upset about that I didnt get that runner in. But its nice to come up with runners on base as opposed to leading off an inning." The five-run seventh-inning rally marked a reversal of fortune for the Rockies, who scored just 13 runs over a recent eight-game stretch that was the most futile in franchise history. Tulowitzki isnt the only batter whos scuffled all season. Aside from Todd Helton (.322), who is having a resurgent season worthy of an all-star bid at age 37, and Seth Smith (.306), the Rockies big bats have fallen largely silent in 2011. Tulowitzki and reigning NL batting champion Carlos Gonzalez are both hitting .268 after signing huge contracts over the winter, and newcomer Ty Wigginton (.257) is finally coming on after a sputtering start. To jump-start Gonzalez, manager Jim Tracy returned him to the leadoff spot, where he got on a roll last year, and Gonzalez collected three hits to go with Tulos four RBIs Thursday night, then added four singles Friday night, when Tulowitzki hit his 12th homer. "Ive been swinging at a lot of bad pitches and getting myself out more than the pitchers are getting me out. Theyre just bouncing the ball, expecting me to swing. And theyre going to continue to do it if I continue to swing at the balls in the dirt," Gonzalez said. "But if Im patient and look for a strike and put a good swing to it, a lot of good things are going to happen." Gonzalez said it was soothing to see Tulowitzki starting to find his stroke, too. "Its nice to see your cleanup hitter driving runs in," Gonzalez said. "Thats the guy that weve been looking for. And about me, same thing, I just need to continue to get on base, find myself. "When we both are going good, we have a lot of chances to win games." Tulowitzki hit a career-best .315 with 27 homers and 95 RBIs last year, numbers hed like to make routine. "This game is not easy, its a grind," Tulowitzki said. "Theres a lot of good players around the league who are not hitting up to their capabilities and performing for their team. But Im going to put in the work and go down swinging if we go down." And dissecting his swing even when he leads the Rockies to victory.

LONDON -- Manchester United transferred its free-scoring form to the Carling Cup by cruising past Leeds 3-0 in the third round on Tuesday, while Arsenal had to come from a goal down to overwhelm fourth-tier Shrewsbury 3-1 and avoid another calamitous defeat. Former England striker Michael Owen scored twice and veteran winger Ryan Giggs added the third as a makeshift United team swept past second-tier Championship side Leeds at Elland Road. Arsenal also played its reserves and had to work much harder to make the fourth round after slipping behind to James Collins shock 16th-minute goal for visiting Shrewsbury. Defeat to a team three divisions lower down in the pyramid would have piled more pressure on Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger after his teams dreadful start to the domestic season. However, left back Kieran Gibbs equalized with a far-post header before halftime and second-half goals by the impressive Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Israel captain Yossi Benayoun eased the gloom around Emirates Stadium. "It was a bit nervy because we played against a good side," Wenger said. "But in the second half, we took over and it was all us." On a night devoid of any real upsets, Stoke defeated Tottenham 7-6 on penalties after the match finished 0-0 following extra time while Bolton beat Aston Villa 2-0 away in another all-Premier League match. In-form Newcastle, which is fourth in the Premier League, needed extra time before seeing off second-tier Nottingham Forest 4-3. Given its lowly position in the league, Tuesdays result was far more important for Arsenal than it was for United, which has won its first five games -- scoring 21 goals in the process -- to storm to first place in the Premier League. Wenger was given a vote of confidence on Tuesday by the clubs chief executive, Ivan Gazidis, after Arsenals wretched start to the Premier League season that has seen it lose three out of five matches, plummeting the team to fourth from bottom. It looked like things were going to go from bad to worse when Shrewsbury took a shock lead in the 16th minute, Collins heading home powerfully a right-wing cross. Arsenals defence looked typically shaky -- Shrewsbury had earlier hit the post through striker Mark Wright -- and the visiting fans derided Wenger by chanting, "Youre getting sacked in the morning." Wenger, though, said he felt relaxed throughout. "t;I was very calm at halftime because panic doesnt help," he said.dddddddddddd "We played a mixture of young and experienced players. We took a gamble and it worked." Gibbs provided a relieving equalizer in the 33rd by heading in a cross from the right by right back Carl Jenkinson, and Arsenal dominated the second half from start to finish. Wengers side deservedly went ahead for the first time when Oxlade-Chamberlain capped a strong first start for Arsenal by lashing a shot into the bottom corner from 30 yards in the 58th and Benayoun also grabbed his first goal for the club, slotting in a finish from close range in the 79th. Seeking a fifth Carling Cup title, and a fourth in last seven years, United had little trouble disposing of a rival that ranked as one of its fiercest before Leeds dropped out of the Premier League in 2004. Owen, who is behind Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck and Dimitar Berbatov in the pecking order of strikers at United, marked his first start of the season by putting United in complete command with two goals in the opening 32 minutes. The former Real Madrid and Arsenal striker dribbled a finish into the corner for the opener in the 14th and smashed home a low shot from the edge of the penalty area for 2-0 in the 32nd. "With Berbatov, Hernandez, Rooney and one or two other strikers around the place hes not getting the games he deserves, its unfortunate for him, but hes fantastic to have around," Ferguson said of Owen. Leeds hopes of repeating its FA Cup third-round victory over United in 2010 were then extinguished by evergreen midfielder Giggs, who collected Park Ji-sungs return pass from a short corner, nutmegged a defender and fired a rising shot into the corner. United had few problems at the other end, despite fielding a defence containing England midfielder Michael Carrick and Ecuador winger Antonio Valencia. Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen saved the decisive penalty by young midfielder Massimo Luongo as four-time winner Tottenham was eliminated at Britannia Stadium. Second-half strikes from Chris Eagles and Gael Kakuta helped Bolton to victory at Villa Park while a close-range header by Argentina centre back Fabricio Coloccini in stoppage time of extra time edged Newcastle past Forest. Blackburn beat third-tier Leyton Orient 3-2 while Wolverhampton Wanderers thrashed Millwall 5-0.
