Rockies defeat D-backs 8-2 with back-to-back homers at Coors Field

On Tuesday night in Denver, the Colorado Rockies secured an 8-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, significantly impacting Arizona's playoff aspirations. Hunter Goodman and Ezequiel Tovar both hit home runs, with Tovar contributing three hits and two RBIs. This win marked Ryan Feltner's first victory at Coors Field in two years, as he pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing only one run on five hits. His performance ended a franchise-record streak of 21 consecutive starts without a win at home. The Rockies also saw contributions from Jacob Stallings and Jordan Beck, who each hit run-scoring doubles, while Brenton Doyle added a sacrifice fly. The team scored two additional runs in the eighth inning, showcasing their offensive strength. Bud Black, the Rockies' manager, achieved his 535th win, making him the most successful manager in the franchise's history. For the Diamondbacks, Christian Walker hit a home run, and Pavin Smith had two doubles and scored a run. However, the loss placed Arizona in a tie with the New York Mets for the final two National League wild-card spots, complicating their playoff chances. The Diamondbacks were already dealing with injuries, including that of Ryne Nelson, who was placed on the injured list. Looking ahead, the Diamondbacks are set to start Eduardo Rodriguez against Rockies' pitcher Austin Gomber in their next matchup. The Rockies aim to build on this momentum as they continue their season, while the Diamondbacks must regroup to stay competitive in the playoff race.
