Corbin Carroll homered for the third straight game, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. drove in three runs and had a walkoff double in the ninth, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5 in Phoenix on Saturday.
Geraldo Perdomo doubled with one out in the ninth off Jimmy Herget (0-2) and scored on Gurriel’s double, which one-hopped the wall in left field and gave rookie right-hander Andrew Hoffman (1-0) his first major league win in his sixth appearance.
Carroll tied his career high with 25 homers and has four in the last seven games. His game-tying shot in the fifth was measured at an estimated 437 feet.
Brenton Doyle had two hits including a homer and Ezequiel Tovar had two hits and an RBI for the Rockies, who have lost six in a row and have been outscored 66-17 in the stretch.
Perdomo had three hits and scored twice, Ketel Marte had two hits and scored twice, and Gurriel and Blaze Alexander had two hits apiece for the Diamondbacks, who have won five of seven.
Marte is 14 for 30 with two homers and nine RBIs against Colorado this season.
Tyler Freeman, who walked in five plate appearances, has reached base in 51 of his last 52 starts, but D-Backs left-hander Andrew Saalfrank got him to ground into a double play with a runner on first to end the eighth.
Arizona starter Eduardo Rodriguez gave up five runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings, with five walks and two strikeouts. Three of his walks scored.
Colorado starter Bradley Blalock gave up five runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, with four strikeouts and three walks. Two of his three walks scored.
The D-Backs took a 1-0 lead on Gurriel’s single in the first before the Rockies scored the next four for a 4-1 lead.
Doyle hit a two-run homer and Kyle Farmer singled in a run in the second. Tovar walked, stole second and scored on rookie Warming Bernabel’s single in the third.
Marte doubled in a run and Gurriel hit a sacrifice fly as the D-Backs cut the deficit to 4-3 in the third. Carroll’s homer triggered a two-run fifth capped by Adrian Del Castillo’s two-out, run-scoring double for a 5-4 lead.
Rodriguez, in line for the victory, walked Farmer with one out in the sixth before being replaced by Juan Burgos, who gave up Tovar’s single to tie the game at 5-5.
