Colorado RockiesvsArizona Diamondbacks
COL 4/ARI 5
Things to say
Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 5-4 at Chase Field.
01
opener
Snakes squeaked one out at home, 5-4 over the Rockies. One-run game the whole way. Chase Field was sweating it out late.
02
key player
Whoever Arizona ran out in the heart of the order earned their check — Colorado's pen just couldn't get the last out.
03
hot take
Rockies are 20-33 and it's only May. Cooked. Stick a fork in 'em.
04
deep cut
Colorado's bullpen has been hemorrhaging late leads all month — the manager went to the pen too early again and it bit him.
05
exit
Anyway, divisional series rolls on tomorrow — we'll see if Arizona can actually sweep at home for once.
The recap
Snakes edged the Rockies 5-4 at Chase, a one-run nail-biter that came down to the last at-bat. Arizona scratched out just enough against a Colorado staff that's been bleeding runs all year, and the bullpen managed to slam the door despite the tying run lurking.
Nothing flashy, no one left the yard in a backbreaking way, just the kind of grind-it-out win that pushes the D-backs back over .500 at 27-24. Rockies drop to 20-33 and you can feel this season slipping away from them.
