Rockies defeat Diamondbacks 11-6 in spring training

The Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-6 in a spring‑training contest at Salt River Field, with the Rockies’ offense firing early and the D‑backs struggling to keep up.

The Rockies opened the game with a five‑run burst in the second inning, while Arizona’s pitching staff was shuffled through ten pitchers and could not contain the offense. Arizona’s Jordan Lawlar launched a home run in the second, but the Diamondbacks’ lineup failed to sustain momentum, allowing the Rockies to pull away for an 11‑6 victory.

Colorado’s offense was highlighted by Lawlar’s homer and a 2‑for‑2 performance by Tommy Troy, who added an RBI double in the ninth. The Rockies’ pitching, despite a shaky start, managed to limit Arizona’s runs after the early onslaught, while the Diamondbacks’ pitchers struggled to retire batters, walking eight in the first six innings.
