In the first, the Rockies jumped out to an early lead off Diamondbacks’ starter Brandon Pfaadt. After a leadoff walk, Nolan Jones and Brendan Rodgers capitalized with a pair of base knocks to put Colorado on the board.
Pfaadt ended up exiting in the 4th inning; he allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks.
While the Diamondbacks did answer back with a run in the bottom of the first, it would then be a constant struggle all night to take advantage of runners in scoring position situations.
