PHOENIX -- Raimel Tapia doesn't show off his power too often, but came through when the Rockies needed him on Friday, hitting a grand slam in the seventh to lift Colorado to an 11-10 victory over the D-backs at Chase Field.
Tapia's first homer of the season -- and third in 102 Major League games -- meant Nolan Arenado's two homers could be celebrated for more than just pulling him into a tie with the Brewers' Jesus Aguilar for the National League lead with 25.
Most importantly, it kept the Rockies -- winners of 14 of the last 17 games, and six straight -- two games behind the NL West-leading Dodgers, and a half-game games behind the second-place D-backs.
