It was another quality battle between the Colorado Rockies (17-60) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (39-37) on Saturday, but the little things proved to be the difference maker as the Rockies failed to get the big hit and pull off a comeback late.
Early innings sprint
The runs came early for both teams, as six of the eight runs scored came in the first three innings. The Diamondbacks struck first after Ketel Marte doubled to lead off the game and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Eugenio Suárez.
The Rockies quickly responded with a two-run home run by Jordan Beck, his 10th of the season, to give the Rockies their only lead of the night 2-1.
