Total prize money for the Grand Slam event will be 22.6 million pounds ($34.4 million), an increase of 6.5 million pounds ($9.DENVER -- Nolan Arenado didnt saunter around the bases so much as soar. The Colorado Rockies rookie third baseman wasnt trying to show anyone up -- he was simply in that big of hurry to get into the dugout and celebrate his first grand slam. "It was awesome," he said. Grand slams usually are. Carlos Gonzalez hit a go-ahead homer in the fifth and Arenado broke open a tight game with his big shot two innings later, sending the Rockies to a 9-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night in David Prices first start since his run-in with umpire Tom Hallion. After Arenado circled the bases, his teammates mobbed him at home plate. And once he made it into the dugout, more high-fives and hugs awaited. "Its a good feeling," said Arenado, who spent the early part of the season at Triple-A Colorado Springs, before making his major league debut on April 28 at Arizona. "But the main thing is we got the win. So, that was nice." He was even presented the home run ball following the game. All he had to surrender to procure it from the fan was his autograph on another ball. A small price to pay for such a big memento. "It didnt take him long to get his first major league grand slam. It takes most of us years to do that," said manager Walt Weiss, who had one in his career. "This guy is a pretty good player." His fielding was just as big as his bat. Arenado made a barehanded play on a slow roller in the sixth that had everyone exulting, especially his manager. "I think Nolan showcased his skills tonight, on both sides of the ball," Weiss said. Jon Garland (3-2) threw five solid innings and surrendered three runs to help the Rockies snap an 11-game home skid in interleague play. Theyre now 8-3 against the Rays at Coors Field. For Price (1-3), this was a game hed rather forget. The AL Cy Young Award winner struggled with his grip on the ball and wrestled with his command as he surrendered nine earned runs in 6 2-3 innings. His biggest mistake? Easy, hanging a curve to Arenado. "It just wasnt a very good curveball," Price said. "I felt fine out there. I just didnt make enough quality pitches and they hit my mistakes." Price has had an eventful week after accusing Hallion of directing a profanity toward him during the Rays win over the Chicago White Sox last Sunday. Price thought Hallion missed a pitch and exchanged words with the plate umpire while heading to the dugout after the seventh inning. In this game, there were no confrontations with plate umpire Clintt Fagan.dddddddddddd Price didnt believe there would be, saying the day before that he didnt think umpires held grudges. "Ive got to get better," Price said. Troy Tulowitzki finished 3 for 3 with three RBIs and was hit by a pitch. The All-Star shortstop didnt start the night before because of soreness in his legs and was taken out once the Rockies built up a big lead. Gonzalez hit a deep solo shot to centre off Price in the fifth to give the Rockies a 4-3. Two innings later, Colorado added five runs. Price got two quick outs, before Gonzalez reached on a single. Evan Longoria made a nice grab on Tulowitzkis grounder, only to throw wide of the bag and allow runners to move up a base. Ben Zobrist was then off target with Michael Cuddyers roller, though it was later ruled a hit, allowing Gonzalez to score. After Wilin Rosario drew a walk, Arenado cleared the bases with his second homer of the season. Price was staked to an early 3-1 lead but couldnt make it hold up. He surrendered a game-tying two-run double to Tulowitzki in the third. That was after the Rays scored three times with two outs in the third. James Loney had a bloop double down the line and Kelly Johnson followed with a two-run single. Loney had three hits to raise his average to.380, which would be among the AL leaders but he doesnt have enough plate appearances to qualify yet. Colorado scored in the first when Tulowitzki laced an RBI single off the glove of Loney. Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar left the game in the second inning after being hit on the left hand by a pitch from Garland. The team said he had a bruised hand. "Its pretty swollen right now," Escobar said through an interpreter. "It feels kind of stiff, but its OK. "I thought I broke it. Im happy and grateful its not broke. Ill try hard to get back on the field in a couple of days."
