PHOENIX — The Rockies are entering the all-star break with a resounding thud.
Not only did they lose their sixth consecutive game Sunday, falling 5-3 to Arizona at Chase Field, they lost in particularly ugly fashion:
— Colorado managed just four hits total and was held hitless for six innings by Diamondbacks rookie left-hander Alex Young, who entered the game with 7u2153 innings on his big-league résumé.
— Defense, which has been questionable for the past three weeks, was shaky again Sunday, with first baseman Daniel Murphy and right fielder Charlie Blackmon having rough days in the field.
