DENVER -- Trevor Story broke out of a slump in grand fashion.Story tied an NL rookie record for most home runs before the All-Star break, homering twice and boosting his total to 21 while the Colorado Rockies beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-2 on Thursday night.Story, one of five players on the ballot for the last NL All-Star spot, had a three-run drive in the third and a solo shot in the fifth. He snapped an 0-for-17 skid that accompanied playing through a bruised middle finger and thumb suffered when he was hit in the hand by a pitch June 26 against Arizona.The last couple of nights, I felt good out there, Story said. I just havent had the results. You just simplify, keep working, trust your preparation in the cage and how its going to translate to the field.It translated well enough for Story to join Dave Kingman (1972) and Albert Pujols (2001) as the only NL rookies to hit 21 home runs prior to the break.Any time youre with guys like that, its an honor. To have done what theyve done, its pretty cool, Story said.Rockies manager Walt Weiss saw Story making strides at the plate as his hand injury improved.Its good to see him swinging the bat, Weiss said. I felt like even though he hadnt gotten many hits the last few games, I saw better at-bats. He really hit those two balls tonight. Its been an unbelievable first half, quite a way to start a career.Mark Reynolds also homered and doubled to drive in four runs for the Rockies, helping to back Chad Bettis (7-6), who kept the Phillies in check while pitching into the seventh. DJ LeMahieu added three hits, including an RBI single in the Rockies five-run seventh.Ryan Howard had a home run for the Phillies in the second, his 12th of the season and 369th of his career to tie Ralph Kiner and former Rockies first baseman Todd Helton for 78th place on the career list. Maikel Franco doubled and singled but had his home run streak snapped at four games.The Rockies scored runs in the first three innings, starting with Nolan Arenados RBI double in the first off Adam Morgan (1-7). Morgan allowed six runs on nine hits in five innings and dropped to 0-7 in his last nine starts. After the game, Morgan was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.You never like to send anybody out, Phillies manager Peter Mackanin said. He knows what he has to do to improve.Morgan was told of his demotion during a postgame meeting with his manager.It was a good conversation, Morgan said. They shot me straight. Thats all you can ask for as a player. It was good, it was the truth and I needed to hear it. My point of view right now is I can only go up from here.Reynolds led off the second with his ninth home run, and in the third, with LeMahieu and Carlos Gonzalez aboard, Story drove a 3-2 offering from Morgan into the left-field bleachers for his first homer of the game and a 5-1 Rockies lead.Story put the Rockies up 6-2 in the fifth with his second homer.Reynolds keyed Colorados five-run burst in the seventh with his bases-loaded double.Bettis allowed two runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.GET OUT THE VOTEWith fan balloting for the final NL All-Star berth nearing a close, Story made his pitch for last-minute votes with his big night. Story leads all major league rookies in home runs (21) and RBI (55).TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: RHP Andrew Bailey (left hamstring strain) should be activated Saturday when he is eligible to be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list. ...

Teams with an asterisk next to their names are our picks to progress through the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) Season 2 open qualifiers. Change in ranking from July is noted in parentheses, unless the team is new and marked as such.North America1. *iBUYPOWER Cosmic (+2)They won RLCS. Lets see if they can keep up that form in online play until Season 2 starts in early September. iBUYPOWER have slacked some online, but as the reigning world champions, some deference must be given. If iBP can return to that LAN level whenever they need it, they are truly one of the most impressive teams in the world.2. *Kings of Urban (-1)They had an early exit in RLCS, but in the recent online tournaments they swept the competition, showing themselves especially powerful with an impressive 4-0 win over Exodus. Kings could be looking to regain their throne; lets just hope they can show these online performances on LAN. KoU is the reverse of iBUYPOWER in that they must bring their online level to LAN and then they will truly be world elite.3. *Exodus (-1)By putting up a solid RLCS performance and making the finals of the last two weeks Rocket Royale, Exodus is established as the clear third-place team. If they can keep this consistent play going, Exodus could become quite the fixture near the top of the North American power rankings.4. *Momentum (+2)Momentum is a tough case to rank this month. Their results have honestly been pretty bad: losing 2-3 to Genesis and then winning 3-0 the next night; beating Genesis 3-0 again, then losing to XDRL and Exodus twice in one week. They move up to Genesis previous spot of fourth off of Mike Quinn Lobdell Behrouzi, leaving Genesis and Mock-it NA disbanding.5. *Genesis (no change)Genesis, our fourth team from the NA side of RLCS, had a strong tournament, eliminating Mock-it EU before dropping out and still leaving themselves in a respectable spot. They have looked poor in NA online, losing twice to Momentum and XDRL. Also with the retirement of Quinn Lobdell they could be in a tough spot without their leader.6. *Formerly Known As Lucky Bounce (+2)Lucky Bounce had a tough month, though it is to be expected when a new roster comes back together. Even with tough losses across the month to Momentum, Kings and iBP, Lucky Bounce still slide in above the new boys, Literally. Lucky Bounce will have one eye behind them as they look to keep ahead of Literally and keep moving up the rankings.7. *Literally (NEW)Where was Literally last month, when we couldnt round out the power rankings? Literally literally came out of left field with a month of impressive results. Wins over Genesis and Deception (11th) leave them a solid-looking team to finish in the top eight.8. Ironhype (NEW)Ironhype is here on older results where they took games off XDRL as well as Literally. More recently they have had struggles, but with a quick style Ironhype looks on track to carve out a spot in this lower portion of the top 10.9. Chronix (NEW)This is the first team on here whose rank is based more on potential than much else. With OK results in their first week in Rocket Royale, Chronix could climb quickly; this roster looks apt to move. The question currently is: will they move up or down?10. *Deception (NEW)Deception broke into the top 10 off the back of some interesting results. After pushing Kings to a full set and causing some hardship for teams above them, Deception is our outside pick to make the RLCS League play. Whether they can finally move that little bit further and actually take the sets from top teams rremains to be seen.dddddddddddd Only time will tell.Europe1. *FlipSid3 Tactics (+1)FlipSid3 finished second in RLCS and, though theyve played with subs while they figure everything out with the possible transfer of gReazy to F3, their results havent been as bad as one might expect. Once they get their full roster we expect a squad good enough to rival any previous iterations of F3.2. *Northern Gaming (-1)Northern has enjoyed a month of strong wins over ENJOY and Cow Nose as well as a win over FlipSid3, albeit an F3 playing with subs. Now that they have picked up Philip Paschy90 Paschmeyer, Northern looks ready to attempt to usurp F3 and work toward the lofty expectations they faced before last seasons RLCS Online Finals.3. *Supersonic Avengers (+1)Supersonic Avengers beat FlipSid3 and Northern this month, yet they only move up one spot. No, we are not crazy; they also lost to two mix teams and failed to qualify for RLCS, which will haunt them and keep them at only third in our rankings.4. *ENJOY (+2)ENJOY had a good month but some poor recent results. They move up due to Mock-it EU and The Flying Dutchmen disbanding. If they want to hold onto this spot, ENJOY will have to stop dropping games and sets to mix teams and will have to step it up to compete with the big boys. Astrum and We Dem Babiez both look ready to move up and steal this spot should ENJOYs run of poor form continue.5. Aeriality (+2)Astrum is another case of filling in where The Flying Dutchmen and Mock-it EU fell. They lost to The Flying Dutchmen three times in the last week of the Dutchmens time together. Without a turn of form, expect all three of the teams currently below Aeriality to come forward and take this spot happily.6. *Astrum (NEW)Ah, the first of the new teams formed for RLCS. Astrum had a good week. In their first tournament out they overcame We Dem Babiez and FlipSid3 to make the finals of Rocket Royale, where they fell to Northern. It was still a stellar first result for a team eager to move up the rankings, and they look ready to do just that.7. We Dem Babiez (NEW)What do you take when you pull together three players too young to play in RLCS? Apparently a surprisingly good team. Having beaten Northern, Aeriality and ENJOY, We Dem Babiez could be set to absolutely destroy the Rocket League scene in the near future ... err, maybe in a couple years, that is.8. *Cow Nose (+1)Cow Nose only moves up one spot in our rankings, though they would have moved up more had We Dem Babiez and Astrum not come in so strongly to the positions above them. Confident -- though perhaps unexpected -- wins over Astrum, Aeriality and Supersonic Avengers see them looking good coming into RLCS Season 2.9. *Team Solid (NEW)Team Solid beat FlipSid3 and Cow Nose this week, though a lack of results earlier in the month as well as a disappointing time versus Northern see Solid slide comfortably into the ninth spot. They look more likely to move upward in the power rankings as opposed to a slide down.10. *Precision Z (NEW)Precision Z was an interesting team to rank. How do you rank a team that on its best day soars to the reaches above, seemingly playing as a top three team, and yet on others falls to places best left unnamed? In the last week they won three smaller weekly tournaments, and yet in Rocket Royale versus the toughest competition of the week, they were swept out of the tournament 0-9. Precision Z looks primed to soar so high, and yet they could fall even further. This is truly the most unpredictable team out there right now. ' ' '
