Hunter Goodman homered, Kyle Karros added two hits and scored once as the Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 in Denver on Friday night.
Tanner Gordon (3-5) allowed three runs on five hits in five-plus innings and Victor Vodnik picked up his fifth save for Colorado, which snapped a four-game skid against Arizona.
Jake McCarthy had two hits for the D-backs, who lost for just the fourth time in the last 13 games.
Arizona entered Friday with a streak of 12 games in which it scored a run in the first three innings, but the Rockies were the ones who jumped ahead in the first inning. Goodman hit the first pitch he saw from Brandon Pfaadt in the seats in left-center field to give Colorado a 1-0 lead.
It was Goodman's team-leading 25th homer of the season.
The Rockies tacked on another run in the third when Ryan Ritter led off with a double, went to third on a groundout and scored on Mickey Moniak's sacrifice fly.
Arizona tied it in the fourth. Corbin Carroll had a one-out single, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled and McCarthy singled to drive in Carroll. Gurriel scored on a groundout off the bat of Tyler Locklear to make it 2-2.
Colorado went back in front in the bottom of the inning when Karros scored on a groundout put in play by Yanquiel Fernandez.
Tyler Freeman led off the fifth with a triple and scored on a two-out double by Jordan Beck that put the Rockies ahead 4-2.
Pfaadt (12-8) got out of the frame without further damage. He allowed four runs on eight hits and walked two in six innings of work.
The Diamondbacks mounted a rally in the sixth. Ketel Marte led off with a single and Carroll walked, ending Gordon's night. Jimmy Herget got Gurriel to ground into a fielder's choice, moving Marte to third, and he scored on McCarthy's single but Carroll was thrown out at third to snuff out the rally.
Herget, Juan Mejia and Vodnik held the D-backs to one hit over the final four innings.
