Alexander has 4 RBIs, Carroll hits 2-run HR, Diamondbacks beat Rockies 6-1

PHOENIX -- Blaze Alexander hit a homer and had four RBIs, Corbin Carroll added a two-run homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 6-1 on Friday night. Zac Gallen (9-12) threw six quality innings, giving up just one run on four hits. He walked three and struck out six. Arizona has won four of its last six games. Colorado has dropped five straight. The D-backs took a 3-0 lead in the first when Alexander hit a two-out double down the left field line that cleared the bases. He pushed Arizona's advantage to 4-1 in the fourth with a solo homer to right field. Carroll made it 6-1 in the fifth with a towering two-run homer down that easily cleared the right-field fence. It was the All-Star outfielder's 24th long ball of the season. Colorado lefty Austin Gomber (0-6) gave up six runs on five hits over six innings. He walked three and struck out three. Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros made his big-league debut and had an RBI single in his first plate appearance. The 23-year-old is the son of Eric Karros, who was the 1992 National League Rookie of the Year for the Los Angles Dodgers and had 284 career homers. Gomber looked like he might get out of a first-inning, bases-loaded jam after striking out Tyler Locklear for the second out. But Alexander hammered the first pitch he saw down the left field line, scoring three runs. Colorado's pitching staff has given up 125 runs over the past 12 games. The Rockies will throw RHP Bradley Blalock (1-3, 7.68 ERA) against D-backs LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (4-7, 5.53) on Saturday.

Zac Galle, Diamondbacks shut down Rockies

August 9 - Corbin Carroll and Blaze Alexander homered, Zac Gallen pitched six strong innings, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 6-1 in the first game of a three-game series in Phoenix on Friday. Carroll's two-run homer, measured at 424 feet, capped the scoring in the fifth inning after Alexander drove in Arizona's first four runs with a three-run double and a homer. Gallen (9-12) gave up one run and four hits in six innings, his second straight quality start since staying put at the July 31 trade deadline. He had six strikeouts and three walks. Colorado third baseman Kyle Karros drove in Colorado's run with an RBI single with one out in the second inning, his first major league plate appearance. Karros was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque before the game and played in front of his father Eric, a 14-year major league veteran. Alexander, who had two hits and was hit by a pitch, has started all seven games at third base since Eugenio Suarez was traded to Seattle at the deadline. Carroll has three homers and seven RBIs in his last six games after a stretch of 16 games without a homer. Ketel Marte singled, walked twice and scored twice for the Diamondbacks, who had lost eight of 11. Warming Bernabel doubled and scored for the Rockies, who have lost five in a row and seven of nine. Colorado left-hander Austin Gomber (0-6) gave up six runs and five hits in six innings, with three strikeouts and three walks. He has not won since Sept. 5, 2024, a span of 40 starts. Marte and Geraldo Perdomo walked and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. singled to load the bases in the first before Alexander lined a double into the left field corner to make it 3-0. Alexander hit his second homer of the season in the fourth for a 4-1 lead and Carroll made it 6-1 in the fifth with his 24th. --Field Level Media
