A once five-run lead for the Arizona Diamondbacks evaporated in two innings on Saturday at Coors Field as the new-look bullpen spoiled an otherwise solid offensive game and produced a 10-7 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
Arizona’s shot at three series victories over Colorado this season was abruptly ended.
Catcher Adrian Del Castillo smashed a two-run home run in the seventh — after back-to-back steals by Corbin Carroll — to make it 7-2 before relievers Andrew Hoffmann and Andrew Saalfrank coughed up eight across the seventh and eighth frames.
Hoffmann, in his sixth appearance as a D-back since being acquired at the trade deadline, only was credited with one out in the seventh before giving up four runs (all earned) on 29 pitches.
D-backs starting pitcher Ryne Nelson had nearly tossed his sixth quality outing of the season (6.1 innings pitched, four earned runs) and held a three-run edge when exiting the mound.

Nearly all of the Arizona offense came from the top five in the batting order, with the group of players having eight of its nine hits.
As rumors about the second baseman’s game absences circulate, Ketel Marte continued to contribute with two hits as the team’s designated hitter. He has yet to miss a game in Arizona’s current stretch of 13 games in 13 days.
Diamondbacks’ next game
Arizona (60-64) will have an unannounced pitcher throw in Sunday’s series finale against Colorado (33-89), which is having lefty Kyle Freeland (5.18 ERA) take the mound.
