PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a single-game, franchise-record nine consecutive hits during the fifth inning of Sunday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, all of which came with two outs.
Arizona scored eight runs after two unceremonious outs began the frame, and it fittingly began with Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
Gurriel, who hit the walk-off double on Saturday and threw out a runner at the plate in the top of the fifth inning on Sunday, lined a single off Rockies starter Tanner Gordon.

Two hits later, the Rockies had their opportunity to avoid the entire ordeal with the bases loaded.
Alek Thomas hit a grounder to the right side, stopped by sliding first baseman Warming Bernabel. What would have been a close play at first became moot, as Bernabel’s throw to Gordon was wide. The official ruling was a single, and whether or not that decision sticks will determine whether the franchise record stands.
The previous record was seven, done four times.
James McCann, Blaze Alexander and Corbin Carroll followed Thomas with RBI singles, and Ketel Marte roped the only extra-base hit of the frame into the left-field corner. Carroll zoomed around the bases to slide in safely ahead of the throw.
Geraldo Perdomo singled home Marte, and the rally ended with Gurriel grounding out. All nine starters in the lineup recorded hits in a row, and the D-backs led 12-3 with all 12 runs scoring with two outs.
Gordon was tagged with 10 earned runs on Sunday, while reliever Ryan Rolison picked up the final two earned runs of the fifth inning.
The Diamondbacks’ record for runs in an innings remains 14 from Opening Day 2024, also against the Rockies.
