The way the Diamondbacks are swinging the bat lately, one would think they are playing all their games in Coors Field. Not lately, the Diamondbacks are at home against the Rockies. After a 10-3 trouncing of the Rockies on Saturday, the Diamondbacks have won eight straight ballgames.
Dan Haren was stellar in his Chase Field debut going six strong for the win. Justin Upton hit a homer for the second straight day, taking his total to five on the young season. Mark Reynolds had an RBI to up his league leading total to 15.
Haren improved to 2-0 on the year, and there was little doubt from the first pitch he was on his game. He struck out seven, giving up only five hits and one run. Franklin Morales took the loss, getting knocked around and lasting just four innings. He allowed seven runs off seven hits and walked four.
Upton upped his average to .415 with a 3-4 day. That average places him second in the National League. He scored two runs, knocking in four among the three hits. Eric Byrnes contributed two hits in the game as well.
The Rockies offense was scattered, with only Clint Barmes having a multi-hit game. The loss drops them to 4-7, while the Diamondbacks hold the majors best mark at 9-2.
Game time is set for 1:10 on Sunday.
