PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 Kyle Karros hit a two-run homer before leaving the game following a collision with a teammate, Tomoyuki Sugano threw six solid innings and the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The D-backs fell to 64-57 as they fight for National League playoff position in a tight race. They’re currently in a three-way tie with the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres for the final two wild-card spots.<\/p>\n
Karros hit his game-tying shot in the sixth off D-backs lefty Mitch Bratt that made it 2-all. In the bottom of the inning, he had to exit the game after colliding with shortstop Ezequiel Tovar while both players were trying to field a ground ball.<\/p>\n
Karros appeared to hit his head and looked dazed while he sat on the ground for a few minutes, but the third baseman was eventually able to walk off the field. The Rockies didn’t have an immediate update on the injury.<\/p>\n
Colorado’s Hunter Goodman led off the seventh with a triple to the right-center gap and Mickey Moniak brought him home on a sacrifice fly for a 3-2 lead.<\/p>\n
Jordan Romano worked the ninth for his 11th save of the season in 14 chances, including five in seven chances while pitching for the Rockies.<\/p>\n
The D-backs took a 2-0 lead in the first after Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte both hit homers. Carroll’s long ball was his 17th of the season while it was Marte’s 21st.<\/p>\n
Sugano gave up two runs on six hits, striking out five.<\/p>\n
Bratt had a scoreless streak of 14 innings before Karros’ two-run homer. The left-handed rookie gave up two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings, striking out four.<\/p>\n
The D-backs will start RHP Merrill Kelly (8-9, 4.88 ERA) on Wednesday vs. Rockies RHP Ryan Feltner (4-6, 5.71)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 Kyle Karros hit a two-run homer before leaving the game following a collision with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":776454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2405],"tags":[5,167,52,4316,1538,869,2092,1098,729,39318,660,3568,37329,4,9500,9501,9496,9497,83120,83038,168,95597,1945,137],"class_list":["post-776453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-colorado-rockies","tag-baseball","tag-colorado","tag-colorado-rockies","tag-coloradorockies","tag-corbin-carroll","tag-ezequiel-tovar","tag-hunter-goodman","tag-jordan-romano","tag-ketel-marte","tag-kyle-karros","tag-merrill-kelly","tag-mickey-moniak","tag-mitch-bratt","tag-mlb","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40774-ap-arizona-sports-only","tag-product-40777-ap-colorado-sports-only","tag-rockies","tag-rockies-diamondbacks-score","tag-ryan-feltner","tag-san-diego"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=776453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/776454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=776453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=776453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=776453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
