You won’t win many games where your starting pitcher gives up 7+ runs. Since the end of 2011, the Diamondbacks were 5-56 in such contests coming into tonight [the last such being the second game of this year, also against the Rockies]. But you can now make it 6-56, as the team engaged the home outfit in a typically Coorsian slugfest which included six home-runs, three for each side. Matt Koch was victimized early on, but the finest of vintage Paul Goldschmidt kept Arizona in the game with a pair of homers.
