DENVER -- Chad Bettis put a nice finishing touch on his best season in the majors.Bettis pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Nolan Arenado hit his NL-Leading 41st homer and the Colorado Rockies beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Friday night.Bettis (14-8) allowed one run and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings while extending a career high in wins this season. He struck out five in Colorados first win in four games against Milwaukee this year.Hes been solid throughout, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. A hiccup here and there but very reliable. Hes performed very well. Its been a really good season for him. I think he took that next step as a pitcher this year.Bettis said he benefited all season from solid defense behind him, and his final start was no different, pointing to a sensational defensive play by Arenado on Hernan Perezs sharply hit grounder to third in the fourth as well as a double play in the eighth.There were some fantastic plays behind me, Bettis said. It was fun to watch, fun to pitch behind.Chris Carter connected in the fourth inning, becoming the sixth player in Brewers history to reach 40 home runs in a season.Its definitely nice, its a place Ive never been, said Carter, who has two more days to duel with Arenado for the league lead. In (2014) I ended up with 37 and couldnt make it to it.With D.J. LeMahieu aboard after a fielders choice, Arenado drove a 2-1 offering from Brent Suter (2-2) over the center field fence to put the Rockies up 2-0 in the first inning.Its always nice to start off a game with some runs, Arenado said.The Rockies added to their lead with run-scoring singles by Charlie Blackmon in the second and Nick Hundley in the third.Carter led off the fourth with a drive to center that sailed into the Brewers bullpen. He also had a leadoff double in the sixth, but was thrown out at the plate by left fielder David Dahl when he tried to score on Perezs single.The Brewers loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth, but Bettis fanned pinch hitter Josmil Pinto to end the threat.Carlos Estevez got four outs before Adam Ottavino worked the ninth for his seventh save.Suter allowed four runs and 10 hits in five innings.HIT PARADECarter joined five others with 40-homer seasons for the Brewers. Richie Sexson and Prince Fielder each did it twice. Gorman Thomas, Ben Oglivie, and Ryan Braun also reached the milestone.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who hasnt played since Sept. 16, has been diagnosed with a sports hernia and is expected to undergo surgery.Rockies: LHP Tyler Anderson has been scratched from his scheduled start Saturday because of what manager Walt Weiss described as general arm soreness.

Last years loss here cost the Patriots home-field advantage and a potential trip to the Super Bowl, but this years Broncos team isnt quite the same as last years. Denvers remaining three games are against the only AFC teams with better records. The Broncos D will give all that it has but will come up just a little short.Score: New England 20, Denver 19Oakland Raiders at San Diego ChargersI expect an old-fashioned AFL shootout in this one, in a stadium that will be full of Raiders fans. San Diego played Oakland close the first time, and even though Melvin Gordon is out, I believe the Chargers will get up for this one. San Diegos?Antonio Gates is two TDs behind Tony Gonzalez for the all-time TD record for tight ends, and time is running out to get that. Look for that connection to make some noise. San Diego wearing the powder blues? Rivers gets the ball last and gets it done.Score: San Diego 28, Oakland 27Tennessee Titans at Kansas City ChiefsIts going to be frigid Sunday in Kansas City, which should point to the running game of Tennessee having success, but I dont know how many cold games Marcus Mariota has played in.dddddddddddd I think that could work against him a little here. The Chiefs dont score a lot, but their defense is strong, even with Derrick Johnson lost for the season. Kansas City will be motivated by a shot to still be the top seed in the AFC. Its time for the Chiefs?to make Harry Houdini inactive for this one and just claim a normal win. The front seven will be the difference here.Score: Kansas City 22, Tennessee 14Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston TexansThe Texans seem to be a different team at home, as they are 5-1 at Reliant Stadium (and 4-0 in the AFC South). Brock Osweiler has been far from impressive, but this defense is coming on with Jadeveon Clowney & Co., and I still think theyre going to win this division. The Jaguars simply cant get out of their own way, and another Blake Bortles turnover seems destined to doom them here.Score: Houston 24, Jacksonville 13Detroit Lions at New York GiantsMatthew Staffords finger is definitely a concern, but he has led the Lions to fourth-quarter comeback wins in eight of their nine victories, so why cant he come back from a finger issue? The story of this game to me is that both defenses are quietly playing better than expected. Neither team can really run the ball, so expect this to be a close, low-scoring game. I like Detroit by a field goal.Score: Detroit 23, New York Giants 20 ' ' '
