Mickey Moniak drove in two runs and the host Colorado Rockies held on to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 on Saturday afternoon.
Jake McCarthy was 2-for-3 with an RBI, Brenton Doyle went 2-for-4 with two runs and Willi Castro added two hits and one run for the Rockies, who evened the three-game series and won for only the second time in seven games.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. stole home as he and Ketel Marte each went 2-for-4 with a run for the Diamondbacks, who won Friday's series opener 9-1.
It was only the third game this season at Coors Field without a home run.
Arizona had runners on second and third, the potential tying and go-ahead runs, with two outs in the seventh when reliever Jaden Hill retired Geraldo Perdomo on a grounder to first.
The Diamondbacks recorded nine hits and drew five walks, but went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
Moniak was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the eighth by reliever Brandyn Garcia to stretch the lead to 4-2.
Antonio Senzatela pitched the ninth to earn his third save, despite allowing two baserunners.
Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano (4-3) gave up two runs on seven hits in five innings with two walks and a strikeout.
Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez (4-1) allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings, did not walk a batter and struck out six.
The Rockies jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on RBI singles by T.J. Rumfield and Moniak as the first three batters all reached with base hits.
Arizona made it 2-1 in the second as Gurriel Jr. stole home while Jose Fernandez swiped second.
Colorado upped its lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the second on McCarthy's run-scoring single that scored Kyle Karros. McCarthy was thrown out by left fielder Gurriel Jr., trying to stretch the liner into a double.
Back-to-back one-out doubles by Marte and Corbin Carroll in the fifth brought Arizona within 3-2.
