The Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Wednesday, securing a rare road series win. Brett Sullivan hit a three-run homer in the second inning, capping a four-run rally against Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly. Sullivan’s homer gives Colorado an early lead, which the Rockies later protect as the game tightens.
Despite the bullpen and defense allowing extra baserunners—Colorado draws 10 walks in the game—the Rockies hold on. Zac Veen, playing in his first game of the season, adds a two-run homer in the fourth, extending Colorado’s advantage. Multiple reports describe a mix of offensive production through power and control issues through free passes, with the Rockies ultimately scoring enough and limiting Arizona’s comeback.
Across outlets, the main points align on the final score, Sullivan’s key three-run homer, Veen’s first-game two-run home run, and Colorado’s unusually high number of walks. The coverage focuses on how Colorado’s home-run output offsets its defensive and pitching wildness.
