DENVER (AP) — Mickey Moniak hit a three-run homer off Brandon Pfaadt to cap a four-run fifth inning, Antonio Senzatala won his second straight start, and the Arizona Diamondbacks were unable to complete a series sweep in a 4-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.
The major league-worst Rockies (18-60) snapped a three-game skid to avoid the worst record through 78 games in the modern era. The 1907 St. Louis Cardinals and 1932 Detroit Tigers also went 18-60.
Moniak hit a first-pitch changeup from Pfaadt 385 feet down the right-field line to make it 4-2. It was his second homer of the three-game series and 11th of the season. Moniak appeared to be sitting on Pfaadt’s changeup, one of nine he threw to left-handed hitters.
Senzatela gave up two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings. He had won once in 14 starts before beating Washington on Tuesday.
Randal Grichuk had two hits and two RBIs for the D-backs, who were attempting to move three games over .500 for the first time since May 20.
Arizona’s Eugenio Suárez doubled to extend his extra-base hit streak to four games. He is 10-for-18 with four homers, two doubles and nine RBIs over that stretch.
