To paraphrase the immortal Crash Davis, all the Rockies needed to beat the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night at Coors Field was “just one extra flare … a gorp … a groundball with eyes … a dying quail.”
But the clutch hit — even a cheapie clutch hit — never arrived.
So the D-backs prevailed, 3-2, to end their five-game losing streak. A crowd of 19,359 watched the Rockies slip to 3-9 on the young season.
Colorado had eight hits but was 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position.
Colorado wasted a rock-solid start from right-hander Cal Quantrill and quality relief work from Victor Vodnik, Tyler Kinley and Jalen Beeks.
