Diamondback HL--
Newman highlighted the team's renewed energy and adaptability. “We’re making the most of our chances, whether it's stealing bases or advancing on the bases,” he said.
Jake McCarthy played a crucial role, contributing two hits and two RBIs. Newman and Josh Bell each added two hits, and Justin Martinez earned his third save with a solid ninth inning despite a leadoff single.
Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt (7-6) tied his career high with 11 strikeouts over seven innings, surrendering four runs and eight hits. “Our aggressive approach is paying off,” Pfaadt said. “Even though I gave up a few runs, the offense came through, and we got the win.”
For the Rockies, Bradley Blalock made his team debut, allowing three runs and six hits over 5 2/3 innings. He struck out four but couldn't hold the lead built by Brendan Rodgers' solo homer in the sixth. Anthony Molina (1-1) took the loss after giving up two runs in one inning of relief.
In injury news, Rockies' Kris Bryant was placed on the 10-day IL with a back strain retroactive to August 11, and LHP Josh Rogers was designated for assignment. For the Diamondbacks, Ketel Marte, who had missed Sunday’s game with an ankle contusion, left Monday's game after his first at-bat due to renewed pain. He will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.
