Game Day: Rockies protecting one-run lead

Behind a handful of impressive defensive plays, the Rockies took a 2-1 lead over the Diamondbacks into the late innings on Tuesday night.

The Rockies’ Carlos Gonzalez launched a solo homer to put the Rockies ahead 2-0 in the fourth, the same inning they made a pair of standout defensive plays in the field.

Rockies shortstop Trevor Story made a lunging catch of a Paul Goldschmidt liner to open the inning, and with runners on second and third, second baseman D.J. LeMahieu took a potential hit away from Daniel Descalso to end the inning.

Gonzalez made a nice play to end the next inning, diving to catch a hard liner off the bat of David Peralta.
