The Diamondbacks played down to the Rockies' level for much of the series, struggling to win two of three despite throwing two shutouts.

First inning Jordan Beck, who hit the games first pitch for a home run last night, to start things off for the Rockies. He struck out. Kyle Farmer popped up to Naylor.

The two offenses combined for 26 runs on 34 hits and set a season-high for MLB with 36+ hard-hit balls in the game. The 14-12 victory for the Rockies handed Arizona their first loss in franchise history when they have scored 12 or more runs in a game, making them 151-1 in that category.

Tovar, who had a career-high five hits, fell a double short of hitting for the cycle. Tovar (5 for 6) singled in the first, hit a 425-foot leadoff homer off veteran right-hander Zac Gallen in the third, tripled in the fourth (but was left stranded), and singled again in the seventh and ninth.
