Arizona Diamondbacks Defeat Colorado Rockies 9-4 to Avert Series Sweep

Arizona Diamondbacks showed off their power hitting as Corbin Carroll hit two home runs in an impressive 9-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. This win helped the Diamondbacks reach 84 wins for the season, matching last year’s total, and move half a game ahead of the Mets for the second NL wild card spot.

Randal Grichuk also contributed to the offensive display with a homer and a double, while Christian Walker and Pavin Smith added RBIs to seal the Diamondbacks’ victory.

Reflecting on the game, winning pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, knowing the importance of securing wins in the playoff race. He struck out a season-high 11 batters to help lead his team to victory.

The Rockies tried to make a comeback with two-run singles from Ezequiel Tovar and Sam Hilliard, but the early 6-0 lead secured by Arizona proved too much for them to overcome.

Arizona’s strong start was fueled by their ability to capitalize on Rockies’ starter Austin Gomber’s struggles, who allowed six runs, including multiple home runs, in just two innings.

Carroll, who shone with his multi-homer game, emphasized the importance of the team’s early lead and the significance of adding more runs in the ninth inning to secure the win.

Eduardo Rodriguez’s dominant pitching performance, coupled with the team’s solid offense, helped the Diamondbacks bounce back from their series deficit and avoid a sweep.
