Corbin Carroll hit two homers and drove in three runs Sunday to help the Arizona Diamondbacks post an 8-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies in Denver.
After a 105-minute weather delay to start the series finale, Michael Soroka (6-2) threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits, striking out eight and walking two. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. homered and Gabriel Moreno had three hits for Arizona, which won its first road series since taking two of three from the Baltimore Orioles from April 13-15.
Michael Lorenzen (2-6) suffered his fourth straight loss for Colorado, allowing seven runs (six earned) on nine hits across 4 2/3 innings, striking out five and walking three. Willi Castro drove in two runs for the Rockies, who dropped their sixth game in eight tries.
Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo worked back-to-back two-out walks in the third before Nolan Arenado's RBI single put Arizona ahead 1-0. Gurriel followed with a single to double the Diamondbacks' lead.
After Moreno's leadoff single in the fourth, Ildemaro Vargas' RBI base hit pushed the Arizona advantage to 3-0. Carroll then crushed his sixth home run of the season, a 431-foot shot to give the visitors a five-run lead.
The Rockies got two runs back in the bottom of the fourth. TJ Rumfield, Troy Johnston and Castro laced consecutive two-out doubles to trim the deficit to 5-2.
In the fifth, Gurriel connected on his first homer of the season to push the lead to four. Moreno then singled, stole second and advanced to third on catcher Brett Sullivan's throwing error before Jose Fernandez's single extended Arizona's lead back to five.
Blas Castano relieved Lorenzen after 101 pitches.
Castano allowed Carroll's second homer of the game in the sixth, this time a 448-foot solo shot.
Against Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt in the bottom of the eighth, Hunter Goodman singled, Rumfield was hit by a pitch and Johnston walked to load the bases with no outs. Castro's sac fly and Jake McCarthy's RBI single cut the Rockies' deficit to 8-4.
Taylor Clarke then replaced Pfaadt and allowed Kyle Karros' RBI single and Sullivan's sac fly, pulling Colorado within two.
Paul Sewald threw a scoreless ninth to earn his 10th save in 11 attempts.
