Snakes Still Alive: Dbacks 7, Rockies 2

The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Colorado Rockies 7-2 to keep their postseason hopes alive. Arizona took early control by scoring three runs in the first inning against Rockies starter Kyle Freeland, fueled by RBI hits from Gabriel Moreno, Geraldo Perdomo, and Corbin Carroll. Pitcher Michael Soroka delivered a dominant start, throwing seven innings, striking out nine batters, and allowing just one earned run.

Nolan Arenado added a 421-foot home run in the seventh inning, marking his 28th home run of the season and his third hit of the night. With the Philadelphia Phillies winning, Arizona's elimination number dropped to two, but a San Diego Padres loss kept the Diamondbacks in pursuit of a postseason spot.
