Arizona 8 at Colorado 5 - Recap

DENVER -- The last time Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Socrates Brito was at Coors Field in late June he suffered a broken right toe when he fouled a ball off his foot. He left Sunday with a far more pleasant memory.

Brito hit a three-run homer in the seventh that capped a four-run rally as the Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 in the rubber game of their series.

The loss left the Rockies 3-3 on a homestand that concludes with a three-game series with San Francisco. The win was the fourth in six games for the Diamondbacks, who are 3-2 on a road trip that finishes with three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Arizona's seventh-inning rally came out of nowhere against Rockies starter Jon Gray, who had allowed just three singles and a first-inning run through the first six frames and at one point retired eight straight batters and 14 of 15.

Brandon Drury tied the game at 2-2 with a one-out single following singles by Jake Lamb and Yasmani Tomas, who was lifted for a pinch runner due to illness.

Brito drove a first-pitch fastball an estimated 452 feet into the Rockies' bullpen in right-center. It was the third homer for Brito, who was recallled from Triple-A on Friday, and the first homer off Gray (9-7) in 22 1/3 innings dating from Aug. 12 when Philadelphia's Ryan Howard finished Gray's outing with a three-run shot in the fifth.

Tom Murphy's first career pinch-hit home run made it 5-3 in the Rockies' half of the seventh. The homer was the first this season for Murphy, who was recalled Friday.

Brandon Drury, who had three RBIs, singled home two runs in the eighth to make it 7-3. The two-out hit came against Carlos Estevez, who loaded the bases for Drury by hitting two batters and issuing an intentional walk.

Chris Owings' two-out double in the ninth increased the lead to 8-3 and gave Paul Goldschmidt a final plate appearance. He took a third strike from Justin Miller on a 10-pitch at-bat and went 0-for-4, ending his on-base streak against the Rockies at 50 consecutive games. It was the longest such streak in Diamondbacks history and the longest ever by a Rockies opponent.

Pinch hitter Nick Hundley singled home a run in the ninth after Cristhian Adames led off with a pinch-hit double. Murphy's one-out single moved Hundley to second, and Raimel Tapia floated a single to center to load the bases for DJ LeMahieu. Daniel Hudson threw a wild pitch to make it 8-5 in the process of striking out LeMahieu and struck out Carlos Gonzalez to end the game.

Tony Wolters' two-out single put the Rockies ahead 2-1 in the fourth. Nolan Arenado led off with his second triple of the season, a drive into the gap in left-center. Arizona starter Archie Bradley (6-8), who allowed six hits in six innings, struck out David Dahl and Gerardo Parra but walked Daniel Descalso before Wolters jumped on a first-pitch fastball and lined it to center.

The teams traded runs in the first. Goldschmidt's sacrifice fly scored Jean Segura, who had three hits. He led off with a single, stole second and moved to third on Owings' single.

In the bottom of the inning, LeMahieu singled home Tapia, who led off with a single and scampered to third on Bradley's errant pick-off throw.

NOTES: Rockies 2B DJ LeMahieu extended his career-high on-base streak to 21 consecutive games. ... Rockies CF Charlie Blackmon was not in the lineup for the second straight day due to back tightness. Rookie Raimel Tapia again started in place of Blackmon and singled on his first at-bat, giving Tapia hits in the three games he has played in since beginning his career in the majors Friday. ... Diamondbacks 2B Jean Segura was back in the lineup. He didn't play Saturday night due to an upset stomach but could have come in late in the game, manager Chip Hale said. ... Diamondbacks RHP Zack Greinke, who pitched for the Dodgers the past three seasons, will make his first start Monday at Dodger Stadium since signing with Arizona.
