DENVER -- Chris Rusin was fine with being part of history. He would have liked to have gotten a win along with it, too.Ichiro Suzuki tripled off the wall off Rusin for his 3,000th career hit in the major leagues, becoming the 30th player to reach the milestone as the Miami Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7 Sunday.The 42-year-old Suzuki got his big hit in the seventh inning. He became the first player born in Japan to reach 3,000, and joined Paul Molitor as the only players to hit the mark with a triple.Congratulations to him, Rusin said. All I ask for is a signed bat in return. Its crazy to be a part of.Suzukis milestone overshadowed a big day from Nolan Arenado, who homered twice and drove in five runs for Colorado. Arenado leads the NL in home runs (29) and RBI (87).I wanted to see him get it done but I wish we were winning by a lot and it was looper or something, Arenado said.Adam Conley (8-6) allowed six runs in five innings. Fernando Rodney worked the ninth for his first save since coming to Miami on June 30 and 18th overall.Jon Gray (8-5) was roughed up for eight runs on 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings.Suzuki was hitless in his first three at-bats of the game before he tagged Rusin.Suzuki launched a long drive to right field that carried just beyond the reach of leaping Gerardo Parra, and breezed into third standing up.Third base coach Lorenzo Bundy hugged Suzuki as Miami players came out of the dugout to congratulate him. He waved his helmet to acknowledge the cheers at Coors Field.Hitting coach Barry Bonds gave him a hug as the celebration at third base ended, and Suzuki got another round of applause when he scored on Jeff Mathis single, as well as a hug from manager Don Mattingly.Suzuki gave the crowd a wave as he went into the dugout. He batted again in the ninth and drew a walk.Im disappointed with giving up a triple, Rusin said. Id rather it had been a single. It was cool that he got a hit but it wasnt cool that he scored.The Rockies had trimmed an seven-run deficit to 8-6 before Suzukis triple and run made it 9-6. Gray struggled and had his shortest outing in three months.Theres nothing that went right today, Gray said. I pretty much lost us the game and lost us the series.Greeted with cheers every time he came to bat, Suzuki struck out in the first inning, hit a comebacker in the third and grounded out to short in the fourth.At 42 years, 290 days he is the second-oldest player by three days over Ricky Henderson to reach the milestone. Only Cap Anson, who was 45 when he got his 3,000th hit in 1897, was older.Rene Lachemann, Colorados catching coach, went over to give Suzuki a hug as he left the field after the game.Its an amazing accomplishment, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Its a lot of hits in a relatively short period of time.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Parra was activated from the 15-day DL and INF Rafael Ynoa was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Greenwood was part of Sir Clive Woodwards World Cup winning side in 2003, when Jonny Wilkinsons dramatic drop-goal in extra time sealed a 20-17 victory over Australia.And the 43-year-old former Leicester and Harlequins centre admitted he was relishing the opportunity to coach one of the most famous teams in international rugby. My parents are teachers and my fathers a coach so Ive sort of grown up in the coaching, teaching environment, Greenwood told Sky Sports News HQ.I love the positive side to it. I love the mental side. [Wembley] is a 90,000-seater stadium, Im hoping its going to be full. The Barbarians play South Africa a week before South Africa take on Eddie Jones England at Twickenham.So its the first chance to see a new-look South Africa team. Theyll have a new coach. Theyve got wonderful talent, if you think of Jessie Kriel and [Handre] Pollard, so its a tremendously exciting opportunity for me. The Barbarians have the elite of world rugby talent to choose from Greenwood also hinted that a future coaching position could be of interest to him.One that I jumped at and grabbed immediately with both hands when the opportunity came, he said of the offer to team up with former Australia boss Deans.I love coaching down at Maidenhead - with a good couple of wins in the last two weeks - aat home to Towcester [and] at home to Windsor, the Englishman said.dddddddddddd was [recently] on the touchline watching my son play in a Sevens competition. They lost in the final to the mighty Beacons school so my heart rate fluctuates more than you might see with Eddie Jones. Hes so calm when hes up in the coaching box. I tend to be more of a Stuart Pearce, jump up and down, nut every ball, kick every ball, make every tackle. Ill try and retain my composure and, in the week leading up to it, hopefully well be able to put in some structures.Were going to be able to coach some unbelievably talented players, who know the ins and outs of modern rugby. For myself and Robbie Deans its about giving them some structure, giving them some organisation.[We want players] representing the Barbarians, one of the finest teams there is, [who will] hopefully do the shirt justice. Heyneke steps down South Africa coach quits Kiwi Deans is the most successful coach in Super Rugby history after winning five titles with the Crusaders between 2000 and 2008. He returns to the Barbarians helm after coaching them to a win over Ireland and a defeat against England in May 2014.South Africa are due to name their new head coach to succeed Heyneke Meyer next month.
