<p>Jake Lamb had himself a night, and Archie Bradley did what he had to do in a spot start, as the Diamondbacks finally beat the Rockies at something.</p> <p>Archie Bradley took another spot start today, and unlike last time he went an acceptable amount as the Diamondbacks took the first game of the series. Here's how they got there.</p>
<p>Jean Segura, who I was told is bad and doesn't have a hit tool, hit a double to leadoff the ballgame. He made it to third on an aggressive piece of baserunning on a grounder to third on the next at-bat, when <span>Nolan Arenado</span>, who I'm told is good at fielding, hesitated and instead of taking the sure out at first, tried to flip to third with <span>Tyler Chatwood</span> late to cover. Everyone involved was safe. <span>Paul Goldschmidt</span> ended a 10 game RBIless streak with a sac-fly to make it 1-0 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.azsnakepit.com/">Diamondbacks</a>.</p>
<p>Things looked iffy for Bradley to start off the game, <span>Charlie Blackmon</span> singled to lead off the game, and Diet Pepsi Tulo <span>Trevor Story</span> hit a double that scored him. It looked like it could be a big inning, but to Bradley's credit he was able to pitch his way out of it with no further damage. He also had a teetering inning in the 2nd, but <span>Nick Ahmed's</span> <strike>error </strike>infield hit allowed and <span>Jean Segura's</span> error extended it so much that it lead to a bases-loaded two out situation for Story. He struck out though so I guess we all learned something about ourselves.</p>
<p>In the 4th, Bradley gave up a double and walked the bases loaded, including a pitcher who was trying to sacrifice, and gave up a Sac-Fly to Blackmon to make it 2-1 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.purplerow.com/">Rockies</a>. Trevor Story then doubled home two more runners to make it 4-1, but he was caught trying to take third so the bleeding stopped there.</p>
<p>Jean Segura, who again has the hitting ability of an AL pitcher from what I was told, hit a solo shot the next half-frame to make it 4-2. <span>Brandon Drury</span> walked and Paul Goldschmidt got a single and the lead us to <span>Jake Lamb</span> just knocking the absolute crap out of the ball to retake the lead 5-4.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Not to be outdone, <span>Welington Castillo</span> hit a bloop double and Chris Hermann knocked in a triple to make it 6-4. Although a double isn't as much as a homer so he was outdone, sorry Welington.</p>
<p>Bradley made it through 6 IP with the 4 earned runs and he struck out more than he walked! Progress!</p>
<p><span>Scott Oberg</span> is a relief pitcher for the Rockies in 2016, and he walked the first batters he faced in the 7th and then Welington Castillo had a bloop single that scored a run to make it 7-4 Diamondbacks. Chris Owings scalded a ball past a diving <span>Mark Reynolds</span> to score another run to bring the score 8-4 good people.</p>
<p><span>Gerardo Parra</span> tried to steal a base in the 8th and was caught. Don't know anything about that nosiree.</p>
<p>Paul Goldschmidt had a rare for 2016 double in the top of the 9th, and was brought home by a triple by Lamb to bring the scoring to 9-4. Castillo hit a sac fly and it was 10-4 little buddy. '</p>
<p><span>Tyler Clippard</span> pitched a scoreless, if a little squiffy, 8th inning, and <span>Randall Delgado</span> pitched a 9th where a run scored but eh he closed it out. The Diamondbacks have won four straight games, which is nice</p>

<p>Yes, that's correct. Chris Herrmann will be starting in right-field for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.azsnakepit.com/">Diamondbacks</a> tonight, as Chip Hale seeks to keep his hot hand in the line-up, while also dealing with health issues for both <span>David Peralta</span> (arm) and <span>Yasmany Tomas</span> (neck). This isn't as much of a stretch as it might seem: in 2014, while with Minnesota, all 15 games that Herrmann started were in the outfield, with six coming in right and nine in left. All told, 31 of his 98 career starts have been in the outfield, so he will actually be the <u>most</u> experienced of our trio out there this evening - considering the other two are Owings (24 career OF starts) and Drury (11).</p>
<p>Bradley will make his second start, and we'll be hoping it goes better than his first, where he was tagged for five earned runs in 4.1 innings. That came in, supposedly, a far more pitcher-friendly environment, at AT&T Park - the logic appears to be that the Coors Field conditions will be a better match for his regular stomping ground with the Reno Aces. Bradley has pitched very well at Triple-A this year, posting an ERA of 2.45 over his five starts, striking out 34 in just 25.2 innings of work. It helps he hasn't allowed a home-run there yet. If he can avoid the K:BB ratio of 2:4 he provided in his first MLB outing, that will also be an m.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.purplerow.com/">Rockies</a> have certainly manhandled the Diamondbacks this year. We are 1-5, and have been outscored by 24-40 margin. It would be nice to sweep Colorado, the way they swept us back in Arizona, and that would allow us to return to Chase Field with our record back at .500. But I'd settle for taking two of three here in Denver, to end the road-trip with a winning record. Getting the first win under our belts tonight would be a very significant step forward toward that goal, and seeing a good outing from Bradley, another</p>
