    Nolan Arenado didn't saunter around the bases so much as soar.

    The Colorado Rockies rookie third baseman wasn't 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 Price's first start since his run-in with umpire Tom Hallion.
