Preview: Diamondbacks at Rockies
Gracenote
Jun 9, 2018
The Arizona Diamondbacks fell out of first place in the National League West at the end of May, but Paul Goldschmidt’s emergence from a lengthy slump has them trending upward again. The star first baseman has recorded 10 hits in his last 14 at-bats for the Diamondbacks, who continue their three-game series against the host Colorado Rockies on Saturday.
Goldschmidt posted a .144 batting average over 27 games last month but is hitting .241 overall after going 3-for-5 with a double and two home runs in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rockies, who have lost six of their last eight. Arizona's Jake Lamb and David Peralta also homered while Jon Jay went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in his first contest since being acquired from Kansas City on Wednesday. The Rockies lost their fifth straight home game Friday despite recording 10 hits, including Trevor Story’s two-run blast. Nolan Arenado singled in five at-bats to extend his hitting streak to nine games, but Colorado's pitchers set a franchise record by giving up double-digit hits in a 10th consecutive contest.
TV: 7:15 p.m. ET, FOX
PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks RH Matt Koch (4-3, 3.76 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Chad Bettis (4-1, 4.02)
Koch recorded his second straight victory on Sunday by allowing three hits over seven scoreless innings against Miami. “He did everything you could possibly ask in one outing,” manager Torey Lovullo told reporters. “He was pounding the zone. It was one of those special days when he’s feeling every single pitch and was able to execute the way he wanted to.” The 27-year-old rookie has posted a 2.03 ERA in three games (two starts) on the road compared to a 4.32 mark in six outings at Chase Field.
Bettis remained winless since May 5 with a shaky outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, when he gave up five runs over 5 2/3 innings. The 28-year-old has allowed a total of 10 runs and 17 hits over 11 2/3 frames in his last two starts. Lamb is 1-for-14 with seven strikeouts against Bettis, who 1-2 with an 8.44 ERA in 11 career games (eight starts) against Arizona - including a 10.13 ERA in five contests (three starts) at Coors Field.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Rockies have allowed seven or more runs in each of their last five home games.
2. Arizona is 7-3 in its last 10 contests at Coors Field, including six straight wins.
3. The Rockies placed LHP Mike Dunn on the 10-day disabled list with a left rhomboid strain and recalled RHP Jeff Hoffman from Triple-A Albuquerque.
PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 8, Rockies 4

Preview: Braves at Dodgers
Gracenote
Jun 9, 2018
The Los Angeles Dodgers literally are powering through their latest wave of injuries with 22 home runs over their last seven games. The surging Dodgers belted a season-high five homers in Friday’s 7-3 series-opening win over the visiting Atlanta Braves and will look to maintain their hot streak when the teams continue their three-game set on Saturday.
Yasmani Grandal homered twice while Joc Pederson, Max Muncy and Cody Bellinger also went deep as the Dodgers improved to 16-5 over their last 21 games. Pederson and Bellinger have combined for eight home runs over the last four games, but the Dodgers’ injury-plagued starting rotation received a scare Friday when rookie star Walker Buehler exited in the sixth inning with rib soreness following another dominant performance. Atlanta lost for the 13th time in their last 16 contests at Dodger Stadium despite a solo homer from Johan Camargo. Freddie Freeman doubled in four at-bats and is 6-for-12 with two blasts and four RBIs over his last three games.
TV: 9:10 p.m. ET, FS South (Atlanta), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Anibal Sanchez (1-0, 2.16 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Alex Wood (1-4, 4.48)
Sanchez settled for a no-decision against Washington on Sunday after giving up two unearned runs and two hits over seven innings. “He’s got a great feel for pitching and knows what he’s doing," manager Brian Snitker told reporters. “I think his stuff is better than what I was led to believe when we signed him. He can change speeds, and he locates the fastball well.” Chase Utley is 15-for-34 against Sanchez, who owns a 3.21 ERA in five career starts versus the Dodgers.
Pitching on seven days’ rest on Sunday after dealing with hamstring cramps, Wood struggled against Colorado as he allowed six runs in two innings. The 27-year-old native of North Carolina owns an impressive 60-to-13 strikeout-to-walk ratio but has given up a total of 11 runs over 7 1/3 frames in his last two starts. Ender Inciarte is 5-for-14 against Wood, who is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in three career starts versus Atlanta.
WALK-OFFS
1. Dodgers 3B Justin Turner (sore left wrist) was not in the lineup Friday for the third time in the last four games and is listed as day-to-day.
2. Atlanta OF Ronald Acuna (knee) resumed baseball activities on Friday and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment in a few days.
3. Los Angeles LHP Rich Hill (blister) will throw a simulated game Saturday and is expected to rejoin the rotation next weekend.
PREDICTION: Dodgers 5, Braves 4
