De La Rosa fans 4 in 3 perfect innings, Rockies fall to Reds

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) Jorge De La Rosa struck out four in three perfect innings in his spring training debut and Nolan Arenado hit his first home run in the Colorado Rockies' 5-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.

The 34-year-old De La Rosa, his first start delayed to reduce his workload, reached 91 mph with his fastball. He struck out Eugenio Suarez on a slow curveball he's working on and got Jordan Pacheco, Brandon Allen and Ivan De Jesus Jr. on changeups.

Arenado singled and homered off starter Brandon Finnegan. Arenado, who also made a nifty backhand play at third and strong throw to start a double play, is 8 for 16 in six games.

Finnegan allowed two runs, five hits and a walk while getting eight outs.

Scott Schebler had an RBI single off Chatwood in the fourth for the Reds, who scored three runs in the ninth.
