The Rockies’ fading playoff hopes continue to shrink after a 4-0 loss Friday in the first game of a doubleheader at the Diamondbacks.
Arizona starting pitcher Zac Gallen stymied Colorado with 10 strikeouts and Rockies frustration boiled over in the fourth inning when designated hitter Matt Kemp got ejected for arguing with home plate umpire Jim Reynolds. Colorado will aim to regain its composure in the second game of Friday’s seven-inning doubleheader in the desert.
Arizona broke Game 1 open with two outs in the third when Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela gave up a first-pitch solo homer to Christian Walker.
