What happened: The latest blast came against his former club. It punctuates a dominant run of offensive performance to close out the year.
Why it matters: The power provides a vital lift as the regular season concludes. The same Nolan Arenado who launched a grand slam on September 20 remains a central piece of the lineup for the stretch run.
By the numbers: He has posted a 1.307 OPS over his last 15 contests.
What to watch: Monitor his run production as the schedule moves toward the postseason.
