PHILADELPHIA -- Jimmy Paredes wouldve loved to hit a triple for the cycle, but hes happy nevertheless just to be able to contribute.Paredes singled, doubled, homered and drove in three runs and the Philadelphia Phillies held on to complete a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 7-6 victory Sunday.Paredes, who entered batting .198 in a part-time role, matched his season-high for hits and RBI against Colorado while making a rare start in left field.They gave me my chance and I did the best I can, he said. You never know when theyre going to give you a chance. I come early every day to get ready and wait for my chance.The only thing sweeter wouldve been a triple to complete the cycle.Next time, Paredes said.Cesar Hernandez extended his on-base streak to 21 games with a fourth-inning walk and had an RBI single. Cameron Rupp, Odubel Herrera and Freddy Galvis also had RBI for the Phillies, who have won four straight games.Everybodys contributing, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. I feel like everybodys getting opportunities. When you win a game, the more players that are involved in that game, the happier I am. It unites the team.Charlie Blackmon homered twice and doubled for the Rockies, who have lost three in a row and seven of eight. Blackmon finished the series with five home runs, and is batting .548 with eight homers and 14 RBI in his last nine games.Blackmon became the first Rockies player ever to hit five homers in a three-game series and the first player to do it in a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.It was fun to watch, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. When a guy gets in a zone like that, its pretty amazing.Blackmon downplayed his accomplishment.If you play baseball long enough, eventually youre going to get hot, he said. Im grateful Im seeing the ball, but Im not going to get too excited.Nick Hundley added three hits and a pair of RBI for the Rockies.Severino Gonzalez (1-2) gave up one run on two hits in two innings in relief of starter Adam Morgan, who was injured in the fourth inning.Jeanmar Gomez gave up two runs but got Gerardo Parra to pop out to center for the final out with the tying run on third base for his 31st save in 34 chances. Hundley hit a two-out, bases-loaded single to pull Colorado to within a run.The Phillies scored three runs in the fifth to break a 3-all tie. Galvis hit the go-ahead RBI single, Paredes doubled home a run and Hernandez had an RBI single to give the Phillies a 6-3 lead.Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood (10-8) didnt record an out against any of the four batters he faced in the frame, leaving after giving up six runs -- four earned -- on six hits with four strikeouts and five walks in four-plus innings. The loss was the first on the road this season for Chatwood, who entered 6-0 with a 1.30 ERA away from Coors Field.On a hot, humid afternoon, the teams played sloppy baseball by combining for five errors, a wild pitch, a balk and a hit batter. There also was a botched tag and bobbled ball that resulted in a run for each team.The craziest inning was the bottom of the third when the Phillies scored a run to take a 2-1 lead. The Rockies had two errors, a wild pitch and a bobbled ball but managed to escape a one-out, bases-loaded jam, giving up just one run.After Aaron Altherr singled with one out and went to second on Chatwoods throwing error, Maikel Franco reached on third baseman Nolan Arenados throwing error. Both advanced on Chatwoods wild pitch, causing Chatwood to intentionally walk Ryan Howard to load the bases.Rupp then hit a grounder to first that looked like a sure out and possibly an inning-ending double play, but first baseman Ryan Raburn bobbled the ball and attempted to get the lead runner at home. The throw was late and the Phillies went up a run, but couldnt add on as Chatwood struck out Herrera and got Galvis to fly out.Arenado had a pair of errors and Chatwood and Daniel Descalso had one each for Colorado. Herrera dropped a ball in center field for Philadelphias lone error.CHATWOODS BACKChatwood said he experienced upper back tightness similar to that which landed him on the disabled list from June 19-July 5. He wasnt able to throw his fastball away to right-handers or inside to lefties or finish on his breaking ball. Hes having further tests on Monday.SUPER SLIDEThe Phillies also had a miscue in the third inning that wasnt scored an error when Hernandez failed to apply the tag on Blackmon at second base after a throw from left field beat Blackmon with time to spare. Second-base umpire Gary Cederstrom called Blackmon out, but replays showed Hernandez never touched Blackmon.Blackmon avoided the tag with a nifty slide in which he kicked his legs away from Hernandez.Asked how to describe it, he said, Like a ninja spiderman.STREAK SNAPPEDCarlos Gonzalez struck out swinging as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning, ending his major league-leading 19-game hitting streak.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Gonzalez has been battling a left ankle sprain. He was out of the starting lineup after starting Saturday nights game, but said he didnt suffer a setback and the club thought it best for him to rest his ankle on a day game following a night game.Phillies: Morgan left the game in the fourth after suffering a left forearm contusion while taking Nick Hundleys line drive off his left forearm. Morgan, who was called up from Triple-A before the game in place of injured right-hander Zach Eflin, allowed two runs on five hits.UP NEXTRockies: Colorado returns home for the start of a six-game homestand that begins Monday night for the first of three against the Nationals. Rockies LHP Jorge De La Rosa (7-7, 5.25) faces Washington RHP Max Scherzer (12-7, 2.80).Phillies: The Phillies have Monday off before hosting Chase Utley and the Dodgers for three games beginning Tuesday night when Philadelphia RHP Vince Velasquez (8-4, 3.94) opposes Los Angeles RHP Kenta Maeda (11-7, 3.31). Utley will be making his first trip back to Philadelphia since being traded to the Dodgers last season.

H1Z1, an action survival game still in its beta phase, is one of the next big esports. At least, thats what Echo Fox owner Rick Fox thinks.Described as the Hunger Games of video games, H1Z1 is a computer title that parachute drops 150 players onto a map, and the rest is up to the competitors. Get weapons, hide, or go on the offensive as the battle royale wages on until one player is left standing as the ultimate survivor.Fox, a multitime NBA champion, has already made his mark in the world of esports with his involvement in leading titles like League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but he doesnt want to simply follow the trend: he wants to be the one creating them. He wants to be at the forefront of it all.Were really excited about our relationship with H1Z1, said Fox. As of now, were in the midst of the [League Championship Series] summer split, but we got a chance last week to go down to [H1Z1 developer] Daybreak and really drill deeper into whats coming down the line in coming months with our partnership. Im probably most excited -- besides the fact I love to play and compete at it on a weekly basis -- what it will evolve into.As a game still in the beta stage, the future of H1Z1 as an esport is still completely up in the air. While it has its fair share of popular streamers and viewers, simply being a fun game to watch on Twitch with a few colorful personalities does not make it a surefire esport. Hearthstone, which is one of the most-watched games on Twitch, isnt necessarily one of the bigger esports going today. There are people who stream Hearthstone that possess a large fan base, but that viewership doesnt translate to a tournament setting. While people might be entertained by a certain streamer battling it out in the one-versus-all aspect of H1Z1, there needs to be an interest in a wide array of teams and players to result in a healthy competitive scene.It has to be interesting to watch, answered Fox when questioned what makes a competitive video game interesting to the casual mainstream audience. That in itself is what you have here with H1Z1.Thats the beauty and upside of the Daybreak title as a possible esport in the future. For how popular the likes of League of Legends and Dota 2 are, theyre difficult to understand if youre someone not familiar with video games. Even then, you might not even understand all the spells, different classes of characters, and the colorful, rotating objectives if you dont sit down and get a crash course on whats going on. H1Z1, on the other hand, doesnt share that trait.A ton of people get dropped onto a map in a realistic setting.The objective is to survive until the end.If you die, your game is over.The last person standing is the winner.Its the type of survival fantasy weve seen portrayed countless times in television, movies and books. With the success of similar media like Hunger Games, the promotion of the game itself from a broadcasting standpoint wouldnt be difficult. When you force a bunch of people to fight to the bitter end, people will tune in to find out who wins. Its been that way since the age of the Roman gladiators.Im obsessed with the idea of the competition of a group of teams competing all at one time, said Fox. Something I havent seen anywhere out there in the landscape that I want to see come to life. Theres so many different ways they can go with their esport eexpression.dddddddddddd. I keep pitching it every time Im in front of Daybreak. I just know as a consumer of competition, this is at its purest form. As a consumer of that and the entertainment value around it, I know there is a home run, a touchdown, a slam dunk. You name whatever sport analogy you want. If you had such a league that set up the opportunity for these teams to draft off the leaderboard like Twin Galaxies and have them all compete every week, its just epic.After getting involved with League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at the start of his esports journey, Rick Foxs next move isnt in line with everyone else. Youd expect a Dota 2 team from him, or maybe even an Overwatch team (to capitalize on the huge groundswell of attention the game is garnering after its recent release). Instead, the move into H1Z1, while not limiting Fox in branching out to those games, is something where he, as a businessman and leader, can be the one to set the mark.Before League of Legends became the worlds biggest esport, you had the likes of Andy Reginald Dinh creating teams on message boards and forming grassroots brands from garages. Not a decade later, Dinh is the founder and owner of one of the biggest esports teams in the world and has become a self-made millionaire by being one of the first people in the space to build a team and brand correctly.Fox, already established from his days in the NBA and on television, doesnt need to take risks, but he wants to. As a famous owner, some thought hed be hands off and leave a lot of the personal work to people he hired under him. Through the first six months as an owner, all signs have pointed to the complete opposite, as his players praise Fox for being somewhat of a father figure and always talking to them before games, after games, and in-between when theyre working toward their next endeavor.Echo Fox doesnt want to just make money off esports. It wants to be the ones creating careers and revolutionizing the growing business of it. In H1Z1, Fox & Co. have found a game where they feel, if the correct choices are made and the right teams invest into it, can become a competitive title that breaks the barrier between casual and hard-core fan of video games. At the end of the day, traditional sports and esports both try to deliver entertainment, so why cant they coincide next to each other?Just because you call yourself an esport doesnt necessarily make you an esport, said Fox.And that will be the challenge he and the rest of Echo Fox have in the coming weeks as they announce their first players and the fledgling scene of H1Z1 starts to take shape. After all, it wasnt too long ago that League of Legends was said to be too colorful, too chaotic and too hard to follow. Five years later, its a flag-bearer for competitive games entering the mainstream.H1Z1 isnt the first and wont be the last video game that hopes to become the next big esport. Rocket League, Heroes of the Storm and even traditional sport titles like Madden and NBA 2k are trying to break into the upper-echelon of watched games. And just like the game itself, Rick Fox will be dropped into a battlefield, and he hopes with his know-how, expertise and eye for a good investment, hell be the sole survivor.
