THE BLOWOUT REVERSALSeptember 24 (AZ 12, COL 8):
Talk about a rollercoaster ride that leaves you nauseous! Arizona came out swinging like they had something to prove, absolutely punishing the Rockies early. Gabriel Moreno set the tone with a three-run home run, and Nolan Arenado added a two-run blast to turn the top of the first into an absolute crime scene for Colorado. By the sixth, James McCann added a solo shot to push the lead to a staggering 12-1. But wait — the Rockies decided they weren't done playing! In a frantic late-inning surge, Cole Carrigg launched a monster three-run home run in the seventh, followed by a Zac Veen homer and a TJ Rumfield double. The momentum shift was a terrifying late-game rally, but Arizona's early mountain of runs proved too high to climb.
THE STEADY STRIKESeptember 23 (AZ 5, COL 3):
This one was a tactical chess match played at high speed. Arizona established control immediately. Corbin Carroll provided the spark with a massive two-run triple that sent Pavin Smith and Nolan Arenado cruising home. It was clinical. The Rockies tried to claw their way back through Adael Amador and Hunter Goodman, but Arizona kept the pressure on. The decisive moment? Tim Tawa's solo home run in the eighth inning. That bomb provided the essential breathing room, insulating Arizona against Ezequiel Tovar's late solo shot and securing the victory.
THE EARLY ASSAULTSeptember 22 (AZ 7, COL 2):
Arizona treated this game like an afternoon stroll through the park. They didn't just score; they methodically dismantled the defense. Gabriel Moreno and Corbin Carroll were everywhere, racking up doubles and singles to build a foundation. Even when Mickey Moniak answered with a solo blast for Colorado, the D-backs stayed composed. The turning point was pure efficiency: Tim Tawa's ground-rule double and a series of timely sacrifice flies allowed Arizona to maintain a stranglehold on the game. Nolan Arenado put the exclamation point on it with a solo home run in the seventh, ensuring there would be no late-game drama.
THE AUGUST ANOMALYAugust 12 (COL 6, AZ 4):
Let's rewind to the last time these two met, before the long hiatus. This was a classic slugfest where nothing was certain. Ketel Marte gave Arizona the early edge, but then the Rockies exploded. The momentum shifted violently in the second inning when Brett Sullivan sent a three-run home run screaming into the right field seats, followed immediately by Zac Veen's two-run homer. It turned a tight contest into a six-run deficit for Arizona. Despite a valiant effort from Gabriel Moreno and a late Corbin Carroll solo shot, the damage done during that explosive middle frame was simply too much to overcome.
