DENVER (AP) — German Marquez scattered four hits over seven scoreless innings, Ryan McMahon homered twice and drove in three runs, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-1 on Friday night.
Raimel Tapia also homered and C.J. Cron had two hits and two RBIs for the Rockies, who snapped a five-game losing streak that included two shutout losses at San Diego earlier this week.
Marquez (3-4) struck out eight and walked three in putting together consecutive wins for the first time this season after losing three in a row. The Diamondbacks had runners on the corners with one out in the top of the seventh, but Marquez got out of the jam by getting Daulton Varsho to line out to short and fanning pinch-hitter Andrew Young.
McMahon hit a two-run homer in the first off Seth Frankhoff (0-1) and added a solo shot off Riley Smith in the fifth for his seventh career multihomer game and second this season. Both came against Arizona.
Tapia hit a two-run drive in the second.
Josh Rojas’ sacrifice fly in the eighth inning off reliever Jordan Sheffield led to Arizona’s lone run. Frankhoff went four innings and allowed five run on seven hits.
Fans attending games at Coors Field no longer will be required to wear masks as the Rockies announced a further relaxation of restrictions imposed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, masks continue to be encouraged for anyone in attendance who has not yet been vaccinated against the virus. In addition, the team said it has received permission from the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment to expand attendance to 35,000, or 70% of the stadium’s capacity, effective June 1. Current guidelines allow 21,363 people or 42.6% of capacity.
