The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-2 on Thursday afternoon and with the win took two out of three games in Denver. It was a big win for the D-backs who are battling back and forth with the Los Angels Dodgers for the top spot in the West Division. With only sox or so weeks left in the season, every game is very big!
The D-backs blew the game open in the fifth inning when they scored five runs. Chris Snyder and Chris Burke both home home runs in the inning. Adam Dunn added a two run single to conclude the five run inning. Chris Young added a rbi double in the seventh inning to add a little bit of insurance as well.
Dan Haren picked up the victory as he tossed eight inings to impove to 13-6 on the season. Haren did a great job as he allowed seven hits and two runs while striking out nine Rockies and only walking two. Jon Rauch finished things up in the ninth inning as he shut the door on the Rockies.
Now the D-backs will travel to Houston to take on the Astros in a three game series.
