PHOENIX (AP) — Chad Stevens hit a go-ahead single in the ninth inning after T.J. Rumfield's RBI double in the eighth tied it and the Colorado Rockies rallied past the Arizona Diamondbacks for a 3-2 win on Friday night.
It was the first hit of the season for Stevens, who was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday. The 27-year-old connected off Ryan Thompson (2-1), lofting a single into shallow right field that scored fellow rookie Sterlin Thompson, who started the rally with a double.
Antonio Senzatela (4-0) pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief for the win. The Rockies trailed for much of the game but tied it at 2 in the eighth on Rumfield’s double down the right-field line off Juan Morillo.
The D-backs had their season-high five-game winning streak snapped.
Colorado's Tomoyuki Sugano had his longest outing of the season, giving up two runs and six hits with a walk through 6 2/3 innings. The Japanese right-hander struck out three and provided the team's first quality start since May 1.
Arizona's Mike Soroka gave up one run and four hits through six innings, striking out two.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had a sacrifice fly in the second and an RBI single in the fourth to lift the Diamondbacks to a 2-1 lead, but left in the sixth inning with left hamstring tightness after making a sliding catch in left field.
The Diamondbacks made several impressive defensive plays, including two in the seventh that helped preserve their one-run lead. Corbin Carroll made a sliding catch in right field for the first out while Ryan Waldschmidt made a difficult catch in left — crashing against the wall after making the grab — for the second.
The D-backs send RHP Zac Gallen (2-4, 4.78 ERA) to the mound while the Rockies counter with RHP Michael Lorenzen (2-6, 7.03) on Saturday night.
