Overview

  • Eugenio Suarez collected four hits, including two home runs that marked his 300th career homer, fueling Arizona’s season-high 21-hit outburst in Friday’s series opener.
  • Merrill Kelly will take the mound Saturday night against Rockies rookie Carson Palmquist, who has yet to record his first major-league win.
  • Arizona improved to 38-37 overall and has won three of four meetings with Colorado this season, sitting eight games behind NL West leader the Los Angeles Dodgers.
  • Catcher Gabriel Moreno was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right-hand hairline fracture and could miss time until after the All-Star break while Corbin Carroll’s left-hand contusion is being closely monitored.
  • Despite an 8-9 stretch under interim manager Warren Schaeffer, Colorado remains on pace to break the modern-era single-season loss record.
