D-backs vs. Rockies Game Highlights (6/21/25) | MLB Highlights | Arizona Diamondbacks

Carson Pops making his seventh start. You may recall Rockies fans. His first big league start was down in Arizona. He got that out of the way. But now the next thing he needs to get is a w we’re ready for baseball Marte in there from the right side swung on that. It stung out to deep center field and it’s going to be over the head and off the top of the wall has got a hustle but he’s sliding into second with the leadoff double Marte doesn’t miss this one and almost knocked the wall down at the 415 mark out in Geraldo Perdomo bats second again. Squares up, pops it up. Almquist can’t pick it up and everybody’s safe. It checked up for the rookie left hander. You got to think that’s a good way to break out of it. It’s a base hit for Jerry in the shadows and they’re all loaded up for Suarez. Still not and out recorded here in the top of the first inning. The 11 swung on and a high fly ball and not very deep right center coming in is freeman. He’s going to make the catch is going to try and score and the throw is cut off off to let that go, Marte in a bit of trouble. But fortunately it’s a sack fly. It’s 1 to 0 D two down runners at 1st and 2nd. That brings up the veteran Vargas. The clock runs down and Vargas sends it down the right field line. The win is going to push it away from Freeman into the out where another nice catch is made. Youngster. What a great catch. He had to move down the road to get that one great catch. He’s got an outfielder with him too that helps Palmquist delivers and it’s hit to third knocked down by Mcmahon long throw to first got a good play by Ryan Mcmahon and Michael to the damage is minimized 1 to 0. Arizona as the Rockies come to bat right hander Barrel Kelly, his most dominant outing this year came against these Rockies at chase field last month, man in scoring position with the Rockies down a run here in the bottom of the 1st 11 to be has hit pretty well to left field going back, Gurriel circles to the fence, it’s gone. Rockies had one hit the last time they faced Merrill Kelly, they’ve got one hit tonight and it’s the first inning after a touch of all from Jordan Beck, they lead it 2 to 1 for Kelly. That’s just his 10th home run in 88 innings of pitching 283 leads the Rockies and Homers RB I and swing and a Miss Merrill needed that. That’s old, reliable. The changeup gets his first punch out. Brian Mcmahon who belted one last night, 467 ft his 12th of the year. Here’s the 3 to 2 pitch, a swing and a Miss by Mcmahon that’s back to back strikeouts. And now two down for to, as this one rolled over to the right, it is collected by Pavin. He’ll flip to Kelly covering at the bag and that will do it for the Rockies. And here is garcia right handed hitter, 32 pitch and it is strike three called the outside corner benefit of the doubt given to the pitch for that time. First strikeout for Palmquist tonight there is two outs. Second one pitch swings, crushes it out to deep left center field on its way it goes and it’s going to one hop over the left center wall will score. It’s the second consecutive double for Marte and we are tied at two. They didn’t see the first play of the game, I guess when he doubled off the center field wall. A nice start for Merrill. One up one down inning would be great for Merrill right here, Hilliard, not in the lineup yesterday, swing and miss it’s another cut fastball and Merrill has his third strikeout there is Orlando Arcia. He swings at the first pitch, sends a fly to deep, center field has room and makes the grab and there’s your quick inning 123 go the Rockies in the second. We’re off to the third and that’s going to be the first out. Suarez Suarez first time up with a sack fly as that one stung out to deep right center field looking up and that is into the bullpen, a home run for Suarez. He’s already getting to work on 400. That’s 301 his 25th of the season and the take the lead, it’s now three to two. The numbers, he’s going to put up before the all star break. You’re going to start seeing him throwing around with some of the all time the way he’s going freeman and Bec hitting 239 looking for that first home run. He’s had a lot of home runs in the minors in his career, especially this looking to bunt bunt up the third base line. Kelly backhands drops the ball safe at first base. R. Kelly was going to make the play to get the ball to his glove and he dropped it leadoff man aboard for the Rockies. Tyler freeman. The hitter walked and scored back in the first and his pitch is hit on one hop off the glove of the center that will get rid to third base big turn for Freeman. He will hold another base hit for Tyler freeman hit streak at nine Rockies with 1st and 3rd and nobody out here’s Jordan Beck. The pitch is a ground ball hit to the left side, grabbed by the third baseman second for one on the first. It’s a double play run will score. Ritter able to trot home two outs but the run scores to tie the ball game at three to moves to third with two down. Rockies. Look for a two out hit from Orlando. The 1 to 0 swung on weekly hit to third. Vargas hustling has it throw to first. What a play beautifully done by de Vargas in time for the out the inning comes to an end. The Rockies don’t score tied at 3/5 inning. It will be Marte perdomo and Then lourdes swung on and popped up. Playable question is who can get there Mcmahon can’t see it. Everyone gives up on the ball drops. Marte now stops in between second and now he dives head first into second with his third double of the night. That is just straight out of the movie. Major league. Marte is at second base. Perdomo is one for two and trying to give the D backs the lead right back here. It is, there’s a swing and a ball hit high and deep to right field freeman. Moving back looking up that is gone. He does give the Diamondbacks the lead and he does it with his eighth home run of the season. It’s a two run shot to right the D backs on top 5 to 3. Nice job by good jump on that wagon. Jerry two for 31 out single ahead of Beck is homer and hit into a double play. Runner goes taken Garcia a great throw to second and they got him Freeman just no chance. And garcia flashes the can in that time and now there are two outs and be swings and misses down on strikes. The inning comes to an end after five Diamondbacks have a 5 to 3 lead over the Rockies was halfway to second. So he comes back one ball, one strike on him. Kelly’s next pitch and it’s hit down the right field line giving chases in the corner and this is a fair ball over the fence, a ground rule double for Mickey Monis one down the right field line leadoff man aboard for the Rockies hitter for the Rockies. Sam Hilliard runner at second. Nobody out and his 31 pitch to Hilliard, he is outside. It’s ball four sent Merrill Kelly back out there for the seven 86 pitches and he starts off the inning with a double and a walk. So he’ll have to hand it over to ryan Thompson, Orlando. 0 to 2 is the hitters the one instead of stepping the throw to second and they pick off the runner. Modi drifting off the bag just an inexcusable mistake. And what a job by Thompson 2 to 2. The count on Arcia there goes. Hilliard pitches outside ball, three throw to second and safe at second base is Sam Hilliard puts himself in scoring position with a stolen base, popped him up very shallow center. Tawa coming away in here, Hill has to stay put at second. That’s a big out. Number two, ryan Ritter, the rookie shortstop, the number nine hitter coming up 2 to 2 from Thompson swing and a miss struck him out and the inning comes to an end back to back strikeouts for Shelby and now the hockey down to their final out and it’s up to Sam Hilliard runner at second two down the 3 to 2 swing and a miss, he struck him out. Shelby strikes out the side in the ninth and the Diamondbacks hang on and win.
