The CliffNotes’ version of the Rockies’ 7-3 loss Friday night: Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly dazzled, Rockies starter Cal Quantrill struggled.
Arizona Diamondbacks’ Christian Walker, right, rounds the bases after hitting a home run against Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Cal Quantrill, left, during the first inning of a baseball game Friday, March 29, 2024, in Phoenix. PHOENIX — Quantrill, acquired from Cleveland in a trade in November, pitched five innings and gave up five runs on nine hits. The right-hander walked one and struck out one. In his 6 2/3 innings, Kelly gave up three hits, struck out eight and walked one.
Colorado cut Arizona’s lead in half on catcher Elias Diaz’s one-out solo homer to left field in the second inning. Ezequiel Tovar followed with a single, but Kelly picked him off first base. From that point on, Kelly found his groove and retired 15 batters in a row. Theoretically, the Rockies still had a pulse when Quantrill departed with two men on and no outs in the sixth. But reliever Jake Bird, a reliable workhorse last season, gave up a run-scoring single to Eugenio Suarez, followed by an enormous three-run homer to right by Alex Thomas.
