Corbin Burnes fanned 10 in six innings, Gabriel Moreno had three hits and scored three runs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks extended the Colorado Rockies’ misery with an 8-0 victory on Friday in Phoenix.

Burnes (3-1) gave up two hits and walked three while extending his streak of consecutive scoreless innings to 16 over three starts. Three Arizona relievers completed the two-hit shutout.

The Rockies fell to 7-37, the worst start in the modern era (since 1901). They lost their fourth straight under interim manager Warren Schaeffer, promoted from third base coach when Bud Black was fired on Sunday, and have lost 12 of 13 overall.

Eugenio Suarez and Geraldo Perdomo each drove in three runs for the D-backs, who won their second straight after alternating wins and losses in their previous 11.

Arizona’s Corbin Carroll, Randal Grichuk and Josh Naylor had two hits and a run.

Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman had the Rockies’ hits, both singles. The Rockies have been shut out six times this season.

Burnes threw seven scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers last Saturday. He has not been scored upon since the New York Mets’ Mark Vientos hit a bases-empty homer in the third inning of Arizona’s 4-3 victory on April 30.

Rockies left-hander Carson Palmquist (0-1) gave up five runs on six hits in four innings in his major league debut after being promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque earlier in the day. He walked one and did not have a strikeout.

The D-backs took a 2-0 lead in the second. Naylor singled and stole second before Moreno drew a one-out walk. Tim Tawa doubled in Naylor, and Moreno scored on Perdomo’s groundout.

Carroll doubled, stole third and scored on Suarez’s sacrifice fly for a 3-0 lead in the third.

The Rockies had their best chance when they loaded the bases in the fourth. Tovar singled and Goodman walked to open the inning, and Michael Toglia drew a two-out walk. Burnes struck out Mickey Moniak to end the inning.

Grichuk singled and scored on Moreno’s double to open the bottom of the fourth, and Perdomo drove in Moreno with a sacrifice fly for a 5-0 lead.

Suarez hit a two-run single in the seventh, and Perdomo doubled home a run in the eighth.
