PHOENIX -- Trevor Cahill pitched seven effective innings to win for the first time in nearly four months. Normally, it would have been the story of the night. Instead, it became a side note to Arizonas hitting display and Colorados side show. David Peralta hit a grand slam and Arizona tied a team record with eight hits in a nine-run eighth inning, turning what had been a close game into a 14-4 laugher over the bumbling Colorado Rockies on Saturday night. "Hitting is contagious," Arizonas Cliff Pennington said. "Its just one of those where guys get a couple of hits, you feel good and things start to roll." It just took a little while to get there. Cahill (2- did his job, overcoming a shaky defensive first inning by the Diamondbacks to win for the first time since April 23. Jorge De La Rosa (11- settled down after giving up a three-run homer to Mark Trumbo in the third inning and Nolan Arenado, who had three RBIs, pulled Colorado within a run on a solo homer in the eighth. By the time the bottom half was over, the Diamondbacks bats had exploded and the Rockies had imploded. The Rockies had two errors, a wild pitch and a passed ball in the inning. They also walked in a run. The Diamondbacks fed off their mistakes and each other, lashing balls all over Chase Field. Arizona had 15 hits, including seven for extra bases. Trumbo finished with four RBIs. Alfredo Marte added a solo homer. Pennington had three hits and scored four runs. Peralta, who had a run-scoring double in the first inning, put a big punctuation mark on the inning, sending his first career grand slam over the pool in right-centre, leaving even the home fans a bit stunned. When Rockies manager Walt Weiss called a team meeting before the game, this probably wasnt the kind of response he was expecting. "I didnt say abracadabra or anything," said Weiss, whose team has lost eight of nine. "I didnt say any magic words. I just tried to give them some perspective on where we are at." After shaky start to the season, Cahill had pitched well lately, but Saturdays game got off to an ominous start. Colorado scored a run in the first inning when Marte misplayed Arenados double in the left corner and Cahill dropped a throw from Trumbo at first to allow another run to come across. Cahill was sharp after that, allowing three runs on four hits and struck out seven for his first win as a starter since last Sept. 21 at Colorado. "Anytime if Im pitching and the team wins, its a good day," Cahill said. "It felt good." The Rockies pulled within a run on Arenados homer in the eighth inning, but his throw to home on Trumbos chopper in the bottom half sailed high for an error, allowing two runs to score. Arizona poured it on from there, compounding Colorados mistakes by knocking the ball around the park. HOT PERALTA Peralta was called up on June 1 and immediately started hitting. He hasnt really stopped. The rookie has set a club record with 67 hits through his first 56 games and has had at least two hits 25 times. He also became the first Diamondbacks rookie with at least five RBIs in a game since Mark Reynolds on Aug. 30, 2007 at San Diego. DE LA ROSAS START De La Rosa had a couple of shaky moments early, giving up Peraltas run-scoring double in the first inning and Trumbos homer in the third. The left-hander settled in after that, giving up four runs on six hits in six innings. "He always goes out and puts us in positions to win games and that is what I thought he did tonight," Weiss said. BIG INNING The Diamondbacks had eight hits in an inning eight other times, most recently on May 28 in the first against San Diego. The nine runs tied for second-most in team history behind a 13-run inning against Pittsburgh in 2010. TRAINING ROOM Rockies: RF Michael Cuddyer, out since fracturing his shoulder on June 5, went 1 for 3 with an RBI for rookie-level Grand Junction in his latest rehab game. He is 6 for 10 with three doubles and four RBIs in three rehab games. Diamondbacks: SS Chris Owings tested his bruised shoulder with 30 swings in the batting cage and is hoping to progress to a simulated game. UP NEXT Rockies: Franklin Morales, who will start the series final on Sunday, has held left-handers to a .232 average. Diamondbacks: LHP Wade Miley had his worst start of the season his last time out, allowing 10 runs in 4 2-3 innings against Kansas City on Aug. 5.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts are a long, long way from being healed. Two days after Peyton Manning publicly complained about the dour atmosphere at team headquarters following a 2-14 season and a rash of firings, Colts owner Jim Irsay introduced his new head coach and then stunned everyone by calling his franchise player a "politician" who had decided to air dirty laundry. "I dont think its in the best interest to paint the horseshoe in a negative light, I really dont," Irsay told reporters, referring to the teams longtime logo. "The horseshoe always comes first, and I think one thing hes always known, because hes been around it so long, is that, you know, you keep it in the family. If youve got a problem you talk to each other, its not about campaigning or anything like that." The comments suggest there is a rift between Manning and Irsay, who is just six weeks from a deadline to pay the four-time league MVP a US$28 million bonus or risk losing him as a free agent. And it all blew up in public on a day the team desperately wanted attention focused on Chuck Pagano, the Ravens defensive co-ordinator who takes over as head coach with a host of problems to address. The biggest question mark is Manning, the face of the franchise and the primary reason for its run of success over the past decade. He is clearly upset with the fallout of the Colts dismal season in which he never played a down after Sept. 8 neck surgery -- his third such procedure in a span of 19 months. In the past three weeks, the Colts have fired vice chairman Bill Polian and general manager Chris Polian, coach Jim Caldwell and most of Caldwells assistants. Irsay hired 39-year-old Ryan Grigson as the new general manager and on Wednesday chose Pagano as Caldwells replacement. Last week, actor Rob Lowe caused a media frenzy by writing on Twitter that Manning was about to retire. The story got so much attention that even Pagano, who was preparing for the Ravens AFC championship game against New England, apparently took notice. "You know, Ive got a text or a call out to Rob Lowe and I havent heard back yet, so Im going to have to get back to you on that one," Pagano said when asked if he expected to be coaching Manning next season. But the saga has taken an even more dramatic twist in the last 48 hours. Manning told The Indianapolis Star that his only real conversation with Grigson, a first-time GM, had come in passing and that the vast overhaul at team headquarters had everyone "walking around on eggshells." He said it wasnt healthy for his healing, and then said that he had no idea where Irsay stood on the question of whether he was going to play again for the Colts. Many analysts believe Mannings comments indicated that he was unhappy in Indianapolis and may be looking for a way out. Whatever the explanation, Irsay didnt like it one bit. "I have so much affection and appreciation for Peyton. I mean were family. We always will be and we are," Irsay said. "Hes a politician. I mean look at, when it comes to being competitive, lets just say on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, were both 11s, OK? So theres been plenty of eggshells scattered around this building by him with his competitive desire to win." Manning quickly began on a quest to mend fences. Within hours of Irsays comments, Manning told The Star he didnt intend to start a public feud. "At this point, Mr. Irsay and I owe it to each other and to the fans of the organization to handle this appropriately and professionally, and I think we will.dddddddddddd. Ive already reached out to Mr. Irsay," Manning said. "I wasnt trying to paint the Colts in a bad light, but its tough when so many people youve known for so long are suddenly leaving. I feel very close to a lot of these guys and weve done great things together. Its hard to watch an old friend clean out his office. Thats all I was trying to say. "I just want to keep rehabbing and working hard, and when the time is right for Mr. Irsay and I to sit down, I look forward to a healthy conversation about my future. Ive worked too hard and have such great respect and have so many great relationships inside the building and out, and its incredibly important that those remain." The drama may be just beginning. Now that Irsay has his people in place in the front office, Pagano can focus his attention on selecting a staff. Grigson said Pagano will make those choices. Irsays decisions will be much more difficult. Indys horrendous season means the Colts landed the No. 1 overall pick, which Irsay has said they will use for their quarterback of the future -- presumably Stanfords Andrew Luck. If so, Irsay must decide how much money he wants to invest in one position. Manning signed a five-year, US$90 million contract in July and is due that bonus in March. The perennial Pro Bowler is said to be recovering well from his latest surgery, but he will also turn 36 on March 24 -- a little more than two weeks after the March 8 deadline to pay that bonus. Irsay reiterated Thursday that his choice will come down to Mannings health, not money. "I think fans already understand that," Irsay said when asked whether Manning may have played his final game in Colts blue. "This isnt an ankle, it isnt a shoulder. Often times the NFL is criticized for putting someone out there at risk, and Im not going to doing that. I think he and I just need to see where his health is because this isnt about money or anything else. Its about his life and his long-term health." Thats only the start of the Colts questions. Grigson and Irsay must figure out how to free up salary cap space and what to do with a group of high-priced veterans such as Gary Brackett and Melvin Bullitt, and whether they want to bring back some of their key free agents such as Robert Mathis, Jeff Saturday and Reggie Wayne. Not surprisingly, Pagano wants as many of those guys back as he can get, including Manning. "I just came from a great organization and just spent some time with one of the greatest leaders (Ray Lewis) to ever play this game," Pagano said. "And theres one of those leaders right here (Manning) and those are the types of individuals and people that you have to surround yourself with." But its Irsay who must make that decision, and its obvious that the two havent been talking much lately -- something Irsay acknowledged will change between now and March 8. "Its a very simple issue, its a health issue," Irsay said. "Its one of those things where just when you think its going in the right direction, things change," he said, explaining later there was no indication Manning has had a setback over the last month. "Its been very hard on everyone around here, and its been very hard on Peyton, too."
