DENVER (AP) — Hunter Goodman homered, Victor Vodnik struck out two in the ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 on Friday night.
Goodman hit his 25th homer — a solo shot off Brandon Pfaadt (12-8) — in the first to put the Rockies in front. Pfaadt gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings.
Tanner Gordon (3-5) allowed three runs on five hits in five innings for the victory. He gave up 10 runs on 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 13-6 loss to Pfaadt and the Diamondbacks in Phoenix his last time out.
Jimmy Herget fanned four in two innings, and Juan Mejia struck out two in the eighth to set up Vodnik’s fifth save.
Tyler Freeman tripled for Colorado leading off the fifth and scored on Jordan Beck’s two-out double.
Ketel Marte singled leading off the Arizona sixth and Corbin Carroll followed with a four-pitch walk to end Gordon’s day. McCarthy singled off Herget to get the Diamondbacks within a run.
A walk by Marte in the eighth, however, gave the Diamondbacks their only baserunner they had over the final three innings.
