Chad Stevens delivered the tiebreaking single with one out in the top of the ninth to help the Colorado Rockies notch a 3-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night at Phoenix.
Stevens' first hit of the season and third of his career plated Sterlin Thompson with the decisive run as Colorado ended a three-game losing streak. TJ Rumfield came through with a tying double in the eighth for the Rockies.
Arizona left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (left hamstring tightness) had two RBIs before he exited in the sixth after making a sliding grab of Rumfield's fly to shallow left.
The Diamondbacks let a 2-0 lead get away to halt their season-best five-game winning streak.
Called up earlier Friday, Sterlin Thompson doubled to center -- his second career hit -- off Ryan Thompson (2-1) with one out in the top of the ninth and Stevens followed with an RBI single to right to give Colorado its first lead. It was
Antonio Senzatela (4-0) entered with two on and one out in the bottom of the eighth and inducted Ildemaro Vargas to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Senzatela then tossed a perfect ninth to end it.
Hunter Goodman had two hits and two steals for Colorado. Willi Castro and Ezequiel Tovar each had two hits.
Corbin Carroll and Ryan Waldschmidt had two hits apiece for the Diamondbacks.
Arizona's Michael Soroka allowed one run and four hits in six innings. He struck out two and walked none.
Colorado's Tomoyuki Sugano gave up two runs and six hits over 6 2/3 innings. He fanned three and issued one walk.
Colorado trailed 2-1 when Goodman walked against Juan Morillo to start the eighth and he moved to second on a passed ball by Gabriel Moreno. Rumfield then laced a grounder inside the first base line that went for a double to knot the score.
Arizona took the lead in the second inning when Nolan Arenado doubled to center, moved to third on Vargas' fly to right and scored on Gurriel's sacrifice fly to center.
The Diamondbacks added another tally in the fourth when Geraldo Perdomo walked and was later at second when Gurriel hit a two-out RBI single to left.
The Rockies loaded the bases in the fifth when Castro and Tovar singled and Sterlin Thompson was hit by Soroka's pitch.
After Stevens struck out, Jake McCarthy hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Castro. Soroka then got Goodman to tap the ball in front of the plate for the out that ended the inning.
