SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- It took 10 innings, but the D-backs won their first Cactus League game of the spring as they beat the Rockies, 7-6, in a wild game at Salt River Fields.
D-backs manager Torey Lovullo was impressed with the approach of his hitters as the D-backs got homers from Jeremy Hazelbaker and Michael Perez.
Brad Boxberger, who is competing for the closer's role, threw a scoreless inning.
Left fielder Yasmany Tomas, who is fighting for a roster spot in the outfield, got caught in between on a sinking fly ball and it skipped behind him for a single and an error.
