The adage is that no lead is ever safe at Coors Field. This evening, that proved true, as an early 3-0 lead for Arizona was gradually chipped away. Though a key factor in this loss was the Diamondbacks being held hitless after the third inning.
Both sides sent up the minimum in the first. Josh Rojas led the game off with a single, before being erased on a double-play. Zach Davies was even more economical, retiring the three Rockies he faced on just five pitches. Arizona then threatened a big inning, loading the bases with no outs, after singles by Christian Walker and Daulton Varsho, then a walk by Jake McCarthy.
