Hot Start for the D-backs! 
The Arizona Diamondbacks came out swinging tonight against the Rockies! In the top of the 1st inning, Corbin Carroll kicked things off with a thrilling triple to center. Following that, Ketel Marte crushed a two-run homer to center (460 feet), allowing Carroll to score and giving us an early 2-0 lead. It was a promising start, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to secure the win.Pitching Dominance in the Early Innings 
The Diamondbacks' pitchers held their ground impressively in the early innings. The Rockies struggled to make any significant impact with Ezequiel Tovar, Ryan McMahon, and Brendan Rodgers all striking out consecutively in the 2nd inning! Playing with this kind of intensity, our pitchers showed the Rockies why they should fear facing the D-backs. Momentum Shifts in the Middle Innings 
Our bats quieted down after the fiery start. The Rockies got one back in the bottom of the 4th inning, with Ezequiel Tovar homering to right center (416 feet). Despite this, Gabriel Moreno kept hope alive with a couple of singles, but unfortunately, double plays turned out to be our nemesis tonight. Double plays in the 4th and 5th innings killed our momentum, and we just couldn't find our rhythm to capitalize on any base runners.A Heartbreaker in the 9th Inning 
The Rockies tied it up in the bottom of the 7th with a solo homer by Hunter Goodman. It was anyone's game heading into the 9th inning. We had a golden opportunity when Joc Pederson singled to center, but Christian Walker grounded into a double play right after. Things turned from bad to worse when Brenton Doyle singled to right, stole second, and scored on a throwing error, giving the Rockies a 3-2 win. Tough one to swallow, D-backs fans.
