Colorado RockiesvsArizona Diamondbacks
COL 3/ARI 2
Things to say
Colorado beat Arizona 3-2 at Chase Field.
01
opener
Rockies snuck one out in the desert, 3-2. Low-scoring grind the whole way. Surprised Colorado pulled it off honestly.
02
key player
Whoever Arizona had on the bump kept them in it — D-backs offense just couldn't string anything together against a Rockies staff that usually gets lit up.
03
hot take
Twenty-win Rockies taking down a team six games over? That's the kind of loss that lingers for Arizona.
04
deep cut
Two runs at Chase Field is brutal — that's a hitter's park. Heart of the order went quiet when it mattered.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Arizona bounces back tomorrow — they can't afford to drop a series to Colorado at home.
The recap
Rockies stole one in the desert, 3-2, and honestly Colorado at 20-32 walking into Chase Field and walking out with a win is the kind of result that ruins a Diamondbacks fan's weekend. Low-scoring grind all night, the kind of game where every baserunner felt like a rally and the bullpens were doing the heavy lifting late.
Arizona's bats just never got into anybody's stuff, and one run is one run too few when the other guys scratch across three. Brutal loss at home for a team that should be handling Colorado.
