   "I've said it before, I'm not trying to hit home runs, sometimes it kind of happens," Story said. 
   
   According to Elias Sports Bureau, via ESPN, he is the first player in 100 years to homer in each of his first four major league games. And he's the fifth player since 1900 — Chris Davis (Orioles, 2013), Nelson Cruz (Rangers, 2011), Mark McGwire (Cardinals, 1998) and Willie Mays (Giants, 1971) are the others — to hit a home run in each of his team's first four games in a season.

   "It's legendary what he's doing," Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez said. "He's fearless. He's playing like a Hall of Famer right now." 
   
   After going yard in both the fourth and ninth inninngs of a 13-6 loss, he has six home runs and 11 RBI in his first 19 major-league at-bats. 
   
   And this isn't a product of Coors Field. Story, 23, belted his first four home runs in the Rockies' season-opening series at Arizona. 
   
   "I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, let alone a rookie," manager Walt Weiss said. "He's fun to watch, one of the few bright spots today." 
   
   Story hit 20 home runs all of last season at Class AA New Britain and Class AAA Albuquerque. He won the starting job when Jose Reyes was suspended under MLB's new domestic abuse policy before the start of spring training. 
   
   Story said Thursday he had donated his helmet and batting gloves from his historic start to the Hall of Fame, but wasn't about to part with any of his bats. On Friday, Story had three hits and drove in four runs while playing for the first time at Coors. 
   
   The Padres, meanwhile, broke loose after they were the first team in big league history to be shut out in their first three games. San Diego was outscored 25-0 while getting swept by the Dodgers. 
   
   Even the Padres were talking about Story, however. 
   
   "He's come out of nowhere," Kemp said. "I think anybody who hits six homers in four games, especially being his first week in the big leagues, is impressive. He's got a great swing. It's definitely harder than it looks."

   Story became just the fifth major league player since 1900 to homer in each of his team's first four games of a season. He joins Chris Davis, who did it for the Baltimore Orioles in 2013, Nelson Cruz for the Texas Rangers in 2011, Mark McGwire for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1998 and Willie Mays for the San Francisco Giants in 1971. 
   
   Story, 23, has hit six home runs since he made his debut on Opening Day. He hit a two-run drive off San Diego right-hander Colin Rea in the fourth inning and then hit a solo shot off Ryan Buchter in the ninth. The Padres won, however, 13-6. 
   
   "I've said it before, I'm not trying to hit home runs," Story said. "Sometimes it kind of happens." 
   
   Nobody before him had ever posted two multi-homer games in his first four big league games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. 
   
   "It's legendary what he's doing," Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez said. "He's fearless. He's playing like a Hall of Famer right now.'' 
   
   Cooperstown already has Story's helmet and batting gloves. Keep this up, Gonzalez said, "and he's going to go to the Hall of Fame'' himself. 
   
   From the on-deck circle, Gonzalez has had the best view of Story, who hit 70 homers in five minor league seasons. Story got three hits and drove in four runs Friday. He's hitting .368 with 11 RBIs.

   Story played for the first time at Coors Field on Friday. The Rockies raised the height of the fences over the winter, but Story's 411-foot drive down the left field line Friday was a no-doubter. It pulled the Rockies to 6-5 and chased Rea.

   His ninth-inning shot came with the bases clear and the Rockies trailing, 13-5. Story also had an RBI single in the second. 
   
   Story won the starting job this spring after star shortstop Jose Reyes was suspended with pay under the sport's new domestic abuse policy just before the start of spring training for an alleged incident with his wife at a Maui resort hotel on Oct. 31. 
   
   Rockies owner Dick Monfort said Friday that if Reyes "did something wrong, he should pay for it." 
   
   Monfort, who spoke with commissioner Rob Manfred on Thursday and wasn't given a timetable for a decision, said he was unsure whether the public relations aspect or a possible fan backlash would play a part in any future decisions about Reyes. 
   
   "I'd like to know exactly what happened," Monfort said. "It's easy for us all to speculate on what happened. But really, until you really know, it's hard. You're dealing with a guy's life too. But if he did something wrong, he should pay for it." 
   
   Reyes was scheduled to go on trial last Monday after pleading not guilty to abusing a family or household member. However, prosecutors decided to drop the charge after saying Reyes' wife wasn't cooperating with the investigation. Manfred has said he expects to make a decision on Reyes soon.

target: – Colorado Rockies rookie Trevor Story is socking dingers and mashing taters at a historic rate through the first four games of the baseball season. ESPN reports the 23-year-old is the first major league rookie to homer in each of his first four professional games and only the fifth player since 1900 to homer in the first four games of the season. He's also the first player ever with two multi-homer games in the first four games of the season. "I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, let alone a rookie," Rockies manager Walt Weiss says. With six home runs through four games, Story is on pace for 243 on the season, Fox Sports reports. The record is 73. "It's legendary what he's doing," ESPN quotes Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez as saying. "He's playing like a Hall of Famer right now.'' In fact, Story's batting gloves and helmet have already been sent to Cooperstown due to his historic start. Story, who only hit 20 home runs in all of last season in the minor leagues, is modest about the whole thing. "I'm not trying to hit home runs," he says. "Sometimes it kind of happens." The Rockies gave Story his chance after the team's starting shortstop was suspended over domestic abuse allegations.
