Joc Pederson, in his Diamondbacks debut, had a perfect day at the plate, going 4-4, including a double and three singles.
Merrill Kelly started on the mound for Arizona, and aside from conceding a home run in the 2nd inning, he effortlessly worked through the Rockies’ lineup. Kelly pitched 6.2 innings, allowing just one run and striking out eight batters.
Following Kelly, Joe Mantiply took over in the 7th inning, surrendering two earned runs on three hits.
