Diamondbacks Pummel Rockies 7-2 in Denver Beatdown

The Arizona Diamondbacks rolled into Coors Field and made themselves right at home, dismantling the Colorado Rockies 7-2 in a game that was never really in doubt. While the thin Denver air usually turns ballparks into pinball machines, the D-backs controlled this one from wire to wire, proving that pitching still matters even at altitude.

Arizona's offense did the heavy lifting against a Rockies pitching staff that continues to look overmatched. Seven runs at Coors isn't exactly lighting the world on fire, but it was more than enough against a Colorado lineup that managed just two runs and looked lifeless throughout. The Rockies are quickly becoming the NL West's favorite punching bag, and nights like this are exactly why.

The Diamondbacks' pitching staff deserves credit for keeping Colorado's bats quiet in a venue where ERAs go to die. Holding the Rockies to two runs at 5,280 feet is legitimate work, regardless of how anemic Colorado's offense has been this season.

DarkHorse didn't publish a pick here, which is probably wise given Coors Field's unpredictability. But if you took Arizona straight up, you're cashing tickets and sleeping easy. The Snakes are rolling, and the Rockies? They're just trying to survive another summer in the basement.
