Overview
- The Diamondbacks, which beat the Rockies 7-2 on Tuesday, opened the game with three first-inning runs and controlled the game from the start.
- Michael Soroka worked seven strong innings at Coors Field, allowing one earned run and striking out nine while using a sharp breaking pitch to limit Colorado's hitters.
- Nolan Arenado had a three-hit night that included a 421-foot solo homer in the seventh inning, his 28th home run of the season.
- Rockies starter Kyle Freeland lasted three innings while giving up nine hits and five earned runs in what he and manager Warren Schaeffer called an emotional, possibly final Coors Field start.
- The loss was Colorado's 100th of the season and left Arizona with little margin for error as they trail rivals in the wild-card chase and now depend on favorable results in the final games.
