DENVER -- Jordan Lyles couldnt locate his fastball. He had no trouble picking up heaters from Felipe Paulino or Daniel Webb, though. Relying on sinkers and sliders, Lyles pitched effectively into the seventh inning in his Coors Field debut for the Rockies. He also added a career-best three hits and drove in two runs during Colorados 8-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. "It was the Brandon Lyles show tonight," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez each homered and made a spectacular defensive play for the Rockies, who beat the White Sox for the second time in six tries in Denver. Lyles (2-0) was headed for Triple-A when Tyler Chatwood pulled a hamstring running the bases in his last start of spring training. Not only did Lyles show resiliency when he didnt have his best stuff Monday, but he flashed athleticism in the field, prowess at the plate and modesty afterward. "Somehow the ball found the bat and the bat hit the ball and guys werent there," he said. Lyles added a nifty play in the field when he charged Paulinos bunt and spun around to throw a strike to Tulowitzki, starting an inning-ending double play in the third. Lyles scattered five hits, walked two and struck out four in 6 2-3 innings. He left after giving up Alexei Ramirezs RBI double and then walking Tyler Flowers in the seventh. Right-hander Adam Ottavino came in and struck out Dayan Viciedo. Lyles usually relies on a two-seam fastball with good movement. But on this night, he had to rely more on his breaking pitches and changeups. "Actually, fastball location wasnt there tonight for the most part," Lyles said. "I really wanted to spin it and for the most part, it was pretty good." Lyles joined the Rockies from Houston in a trade for Dexter Fowler last winter. While with the Astros, he made just one appearance at Coors Field, receiving a five-inning no-decision on May 28, 2012, when he had a single in two at-bats and scored a run. The last Colorado pitcher to go 3 for 3 was lefty Brian Bohanon against the Dodgers on July 20, 2001. Paulino (0-1) allowed six earned runs on nine hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings in his return to Coors Field, where he pitched for the Rockies in 2011 before being plagued by arm troubles the last two years. "They got me today," Paulino said. "Even the pitcher." Tulowitzki led off the sixth with his first homer of the season, one that barely cleared the wall. "I knew it had a chance, but I wasnt sure," he said. Gonzalezs homer, his third of the year, was a line-drive shot to right in the first inning. "Ive been on deck for a lot of his home runs, obviously, and that one got out quicker than any one that Ive ever seen," Tulowitzki said. Lyles helped his own cause with a double into left-centre an inning later that scored D.J. LeMahieu from first base for a 2-0 lead. The Rockies loaded the bases in the third, when Wilin Rosario bounced an infield single off Paulino to make it 3-0, and in the fifth, when LeMahieus single just over the glove of second baseman Marcus Semien made it 4-0 and chased Paulino. Lyles, who singled leading off the fourth, greeted Webb with a line-drive RBI single up the middle to make it 5-0, and Charlie Blackmon followed with a sacrifice fly. "At one point their pitcher is outhitting us," Chicago manager Robin Ventura lamented. "Thats never a good sign. We need to be a lot better than that."

A third violation remains a lifetime ban.TORONTO - The Guelph Storm dominated last season, except when it mattered most.The Ontario Hockey League champions came up short in the Memorial Cup final, losing 6-3 to the WHLs Edmonton Oil Kings. While the Storm would love to become the 10th team in Memorial Cup history to win major junior hockeys top prize the year after losing the final, coach Scott Walker is careful when discussing his teams chances.I think that would be a little bit of an aggressive statement, Walker said. I think well be half decent, but I dont think were there yet. We lost a lot of depth and high-end players.Gone are forwards Kerby Rychel, Scott Kosmachuk, Scott Mitchell and Brock McGinn as well as defencemen Matt Finn and Nick Ebert, all of whom played a significant role in helping Guelph win the OHL championship.Returnees who will play key roles in trying to help the Storm get back to the Canadian junior hockey championship include forwards Robbie Fabbri, Jason Dickinson and Tyler Bertuzzi, along with defencemen Zac Leslie and Ben Harper. Goalies Justin Nichols and Matthew Mancina are also returning this season, which opens Wednesday.Fabbri could be one of the best players in the league, Walker said. This guy is competitive and probably the most exciting player from this years draft. Even in exhibition games hes drawing oohs and aahs from the fans.Fabbri was third in club scoring last season with 45 goals and 42 assists in 58 games while Dickinson had 26 goals and 52 assists in 68 games. Bertuzzi had 10 goals and seven assists in 18 playoff games.If the Storm is to get back to the Memorial Cup, it will not be easy.In the Western Conference, the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds have a host of returning players and Sheldon Keefe has proven himself to be a highly effective coach. GM Kyle Dubas has departed for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he leaves behind a star-studded group that includes centre Sergey Tolchinsky, who scored 31 goals and added 60 assists last season, as well as forwards Bryan Moore, Michael Bunting, Blake Speers and Jared McCann.The big question surrounds rugged defenceman Darnell Nurse, a first round pick of the Edmonton Oilers in 2013, who could make the jump to the NHL. The feeling is Nurses game could use some fine-tuning at the junior levvel.ddddddddddddThe Erie Otters also have several of returnees, including blue-chip prospect Connor McDavid, who is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NHL draft.Fellow centre Dylan Strome will compete with McDavid for ice time and is expected to be a high draft pick next June. Also, left-winger Andre Burakovsky, a first round pick of the Washington Capitals, may be sent back, but because he is from Austria, he could play in the American Hockey League.The London Knights could be a factor depending on who they get back from the NHL. Max Domi is likely to start the season in Arizona with the Coyotes and Bo Horvat could make the Vancouver Canucks even though neither had a particularly strong season last year. Russian defenceman Nikita Zadorov started last season in the NHL playing seven games with Buffalo and if he is returned to London along with Domi and Horvat, the Knights could contend.In the East, the Oshawa Generals should be a dominant team if left-winger Michael Dal Colle is returned by the New York Islanders who chose him fifth overall in the 2014 NHL draft. The Islanders do not have a lot of depth up front which could play a role in Islanders management electing to keep the 18-year-old. Dal Colle and centre Cole Cassels will lead the offence.The Kingston Frontenacs have been assured theyll get scoring whiz Sam Bennett back from the Calgary Flames and all eyes will be behind the bench where 28-year-old Paul McFarland takes over as coach after a two-year stint in Oshawa as D.J. Smiths assistant.The Peterborough Petes took huge strides toward respectability under coach Jody Hull last season and if tough left-winger Nick Ritchie is returned by the Anaheim Ducks, there is every reason they will continue to rise. Ritchie, who recorded 31 goals and 43 assists with 136 penalty minutes last year, could be one of the most dominant players in the OHL.The Niagara IceDogs, led by centre Carter Verhaeghe and left-winger Brendan Perlini, will also be very competitive. Vince Dunn is a steady defenceman while centre Johnny Corneil is expected to take a bigger role.Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version quoted Walker as saying Fabbri is eligible for this years draft. he has already been drafted. ' ' '
