What’s wrong with the Rockies? Well, for starters, it’s their starters.
So it was Friday night in the desert when the Diamondbacks tagged veteran left-hander Austin Gomber for six runs on five hits over six innings as they cruised to a 6-1 win at Chase Field.
The killer blows off Gomber were a three-run double by Blaze Alexander in the first, a leadoff homer by Alexander in the fourth, and a two-run homer by Corbin Carroll in the fifth.
Rockies starters have an 8.09 ERA in their 19 games since the All-Star break. Friday night, Gomber saved the bullpen by going six innings, but he’s 0-8 with a 6.75 ERA over his last 12 starts.
Over their five-game losing streak, the Rockies have been outscored 54-11.
The ray of light for the Rockies was the play of rookie third baseman Kyle Karros and rookie first baseman Warming Bernabel. Karros made his big league debut and slashed a one-out single to right in the second inning off veteran right-hander Zac Gallen to drive in Bernabel, who led off the inning with a double. Karros also made several pretty plays at third base.
Per usual, the Rockies trailed after the first inning. This time, 3-0. And Colorado had no answer for Gallen, who gave up one run on four hits over six innings. Gallen struck out six and walked three.

Gomber, visibly upset by home plate umpire Brian Walsh’s erratic strike zone, walked three. All three of those free passes hurt him. In the first, he issued a leadoff walk to Ketel Marte and a one-out walk to Geraldo Perdomo, and both scored on Alexander’s double. In the fifth, he issued another leadoff walk to Marte, who trotted home on Carroll’s 424-foot blast off Gomber’s 1-1 knuckle curve.
