The Rockies pitcher has a better record and ERA than Robbie. Not only will it not be as easy as last night, but it will be an uphill fight. I hope the D-backs are up to it.

Especially considering Robbie not filling the role of #1A or #2 as we expected at the start of the season.

At least we have a genuine leadoff hitter tonight with Locastro, as we did last night with Dyson. How many times do you think he'll be HBP? :)

Robbie strands a 1-out walk in the top of the 1st and has two
strikeouts. Only 13 pitches. 9 for strikes. Good start for Robbie.

A single for Escobar and, still hot, a ground-rule double for Walker with 2 outs.

Jones with a fly out to CF to strand the two runners in scoring position.

A single would drive them both in. Why hit it into the air? :shrug:

I find Ray's grunting like a female tennis player to be very annoying. He is pitching well tonight. Offense thus far hasn't had a timely hit.

Ray with RBI single!
And he's given up only two hits through the first 5.

But he has walked 5 -- 1 intentionally.

With 8 strikeouts.

And now it is a 2-hitter for 6 innings.

But still a 1-1 tie.

Uh oh, 'looks like the game will depend on our bullpen.

Ray is at 93 pitches.

Jake Lamb with a 2-run HR off the top of the fence in left-center.

3-1 D-backs. 'Good to see Robbie Ray with the lead.

Ray will be up to bat this inning. Will TL let him hit?

No, Vargas is pinch-hitting. As mentioned, Robbie is at 93 pitches.

Prior to that, Kelly with a clutch hit singles in Ahmed. It's now 4-1.

Can the bullpen hold the lead for 3 innings? :doi:

Chafin is in to start the 7th and strikes out the lefty.

Now Iannetta, a righty, flies out. And he gets another
lefty out. 1-2-3.

Nice recovery by Lopez. Frightened by the prospect of what Holland will do in the 9th...

I'll stick my neck out and predict that Holland will get the save tonight.
