Colorado RockiesvsArizona Diamondbacks
COL 0/ARI 9
Things to say
The Arizona Diamondbacks shut out the Colorado Rockies 9-0 at Chase Field.
01
opener
Yeah, D-backs rolled the Rockies 9-nothing. Never in doubt. Colorado couldn't do anything at the plate.
02
key player
Whoever Arizona ran out there dealt — nine zeros on the road side, that's a starter who got into his stuff. I don't even think the pen had to sweat.
03
hot take
Honestly at 46-73 the Rockies are just playing out the string. This wasn't a game, it was batting practice for Arizona.
04
deep cut
Nine runs and a shutout on a getaway day — that's the heart of the order actually showing up for once. Rockies never even got a runner into scoring position that mattered.
05
exit
Anyway, Arizona's clawing back toward .500 — we'll see if they keep it going next series.
The recap
Arizona flat-out steamrolled Colorado 9-0 at Chase Field, and it was never close. The D-backs bats got into their stuff early and the heart of the order kept the line moving all night, while the pitching staff twirled a shutout and never let the Rockies breathe.
Colorado couldn't buy a run, going quiet from the first pitch to the last. On a getaway day like this, that's about as easy as a win gets.
