Overview

  • Colorado reinstated Antonio Senzatela from the injured list and he delivered five shutout innings, yielding four hits and striking out two.
  • Luis Peralta was recalled from Triple-A but surrendered a 474-foot homer to Corbin Carroll and exited after loading the bases, exposing bullpen fragility.
  • Rookie reliever Juan Mejia recorded his first major league save despite allowing a run and secured the final out with a collision catch through the infield.
  • Arizona starter Nabil Crismatt made his first MLB appearance of 2025, retiring 11 straight batters and striking out five over five innings without earning a decision.
  • The 6-5 victory gave Colorado its first series win against an NL West opponent this season and leads into a four-game home set against the Los Angeles Dodgers starting Monday.
