DENVER -- Juan Nicasio has figured out how to beat teams with his arm. He also showed he can do it with his bat. Nicasio threw six shutout innings and added an RBI single to lift the Colorado Rockies over the San Francisco Giants 6-1 on Monday night. Todd Helton homered to move within three hits of 2,500, and Charlie Blackmon also homered for the Rockies. Buster Posey singled and reached base for the 49th straight game against Colorado. Nicasio (8-6) struggled with his location early this season and was sent to Triple-A on June 28 to work on his command. He is 3-2 since rejoining the Rockies on July 12, but has pitched deeper into games. "Its a hard slider that hes throwing that hes getting swings and misses," manager Walt Weiss said. "When he gets it near the plate its been effective. Early on, a lot of those sliders were a ball out of his hand and didnt really serve a purpose." The Giants struggled against the righty, managing just four hits. Two came in the first inning when they loaded the bases before Nicasio struck out Pablo Sandoval to end the threat. "First inning, bases loaded and no runs, I was feeling happy," Nicasio said. Giants starter Barry Zito didnt share the feeling. The Rockies began a nine-game, 10-day homestand with a strong performance against Zito (4-10), who has struggled away from home this season. His numbers didnt improve in his short outing at Coors Field. Zito allowed five runs and nine hits and struck out one in four innings in his second start since being put back into the rotation. He is 0-8 with a 9.61 ERA on the road this season. "I dont know about tonight," he said. "I thought I had good command." He worked out of trouble in the first inning before the Rockies got to him in the second. Nolan Arenado led off with a bloop single -- one of his three hits -- and Helton crushed a 1-1 curveball into the Rockies bullpen to give Colorado a 2-0 lead. It was Heltons ninth homer of the season and the 363rd of his 17-year career. Blackmon, who entered the game in the second inning for Dexter Fowler, led off the third with his fourth homer to give the Rockies a 3-0 lead. Colorado tacked on two more runs in the fourth on a bases-loaded single by Nicasio and a ground out by Blackmon. "I looked the film on the home runs. Buster had his glove on the ground and thats where the pitches were on the home runs," Zito said. "I wanted the curveballs down and away, and thats where they were." The Giants got a scare when right fielder Hunter Pence crashed into the wall trying to track down Michael Cuddyers triple in the first inning. Pence lay on the warning track before San Franciscos trainers came out to tend to him. After a brief examination he stayed in the game. "He hit the wall pretty good, I mean really good," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He got the wind knocked out of him. Once he got his wind back he was all right. Im sure he will be ready to go." Pence and the Giants couldnt do much against Nicasio, who tied a season high with nine strikeouts. He finished his night by striking out Brandon Crawford with runners on first and third to end the sixth. "Hes come a long way minimizing damage," Weiss said. "The big one was the sixth inning. We really wanted him to get through the sixth without having to go to the pen. Our guys were pretty taxed so we didnt want to go there that early, so that was big for Juan to get through that sixth inning." The Giants spoiled the shutout attempt on Joaquin Arias two-out RBI double off Jeff Francis in the ninth.

Pouncey talked to reporters Tuesday for the first time since the Ted Wells report implicated him, left guard Richie Incognito and right guard John Jerry as being behind alleged hazing and harassment of tackle Jonathan Martin. "No, not at all," Pouncey said when asked if he had any regrets. "Weve moved on from that. Im not worried about anything in 2013, honestly, its all about 2014 for me." On October 28, three days before the Dolphins played Cincinnati, Martin abruptly left the team after storming out of the cafeteria, and never returned. It wasnt until the Wells report was released that Pounceys name was directly attached. The NFL is waiting for him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation before issuing any discipline. Pouncey said he does not need such an evaluation. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin stood behind Pouncey during his news conference after the practice. Philbin confirmed that he and the team will be in constant communication with the league regarding any discipline for Pouncey. "The one thing thats without question about Mike Pouncey which is important is he wants to be a great football player," said Philbin, who invited Pouncey to a dinner with free agent left tackle Branden Albert before the team signed him. "He wants to make a valuable contribution to the Miami Dolphins, and hes not unlike any other player that we have in terms of theres an educational process every player goes through. But I love the effort and energy that he brings and that hes put forth into this off-season and todays Day 1. Its a long, long process, but hes off to a good start." New offensive co-ordinator Bill Lazor also expressed confidence in Pounceys leadership. "Mike and I walk into this professionaal relationship with a real clear picture," Lazor said.dddddddddddd "I spoke with him on the phone and I laid out what I was looking for. He was very excited to do it and I think hes the right guy to do it." Pouncey didnt help matters last month after Miami drafted Tennessee right tackle JaWuan James in the first round when he tweeted he was looking forward to the gifts James would have to deliver to the veterans. The 2011 first-round pick insisted he was joking, reiterating that he believes he is the type of leader his teammates want him to be. Incognito, Jerry, Martin, Tyson Clabo and Bryant McKinnie all started alongside Pouncey on the offensive line at times last season. Now, only Pouncey remains. In addition to signing Albert and veteran guard Shelley Smith, the Dolphins drafted James and guard/tackle Billy Turner in the early rounds. All of them were aware of the issues that plagued that unit in 2013. Philbin knew that would have to be addressed. "We didnt really say an awful lot," he said. "We want them to make their own decisions. When they walk into the building, when they feel the energy, the excitement that the coaching staff has in working with these guys every day, when they see the way these players are treated by our equipment staff, by our security staff and by our medical staff, I dont really have to say a whole lot. "The people that come to work here every single day create an outstanding atmosphere ... and again I think the players feel that. If you have to talk about that, then you probably dont have one." NOTES: WR Brandon Gibson was back to work after recovering from a torn patellar tendon that cost him the last nine games of 2013. ... Former star defensive end Jason Taylor was on the field Tuesday as a special guest coach. ... Koa Misi worked at middle linebacker, with Danell Ellerbe joining Philip Wheeler on the outside, which was a switch from previous lineups. ' ' '
