Colorado racks up 19 hits, Jordan Beck and Ezequiel Tovar shine in comeback win

In one of the wildest games of the 2025 season, the Colorado Rockies exploded for 19 hits and outlasted the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-12 in a high-scoring desert slugfest on Saturday night. Ezequiel Tovar had a career-high five-hit performance, while Jordan Beck homered twice—including a go-ahead blast in the 7th—to lead the Rockies to just their eighth win of the year.

🔥 First Inning Fireworks

The fireworks started early when Jordan Beck launched the first pitch of the game over the right-center field wall. Two batters later, Hunter Goodman crushed a two-run homer, giving Colorado a 3-0 lead before many fans were even in their seats.

But Arizona answered immediately. After a Corbin Carroll walk and stolen base, Ketel Marte drove him in with a single. RBI hits from Eugenio Suarez and Gabriel Moreno (thanks to a throwing error) tied the game at 3-3 by the end of the inning.

💣 Back-and-Forth Mayhem

The Diamondbacks surged ahead with a three-run second inning, highlighted by a 2-RBI triple from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and an RBI single from Pavin Smith. Arizona led 6-3 until Colorado’s bats roared back in the third with homers from Ezequiel Tovar and Kyle Farmer to even the score at 6.

More errors and clutch hits kept the scoreboard operator busy. Suarez and Alek Thomas went yard in the 4th to push Arizona ahead 10-6, but the Rockies wouldn't go away.

🚨 Lead Changes and Late-Inning Drama

In the 6th, Hunter Goodman’s 2-run single and Farmer’s 2-run double brought the Rockies within one, 11-10. Then, in the 7th, Beck's second homer of the night—a 2-run shot—swung the momentum to Colorado, giving them a 13-11 lead.

Arizona chipped away in the 8th when Josh Naylor, pinch-hitting for Jordan Lawlar, smoked an RBI double to make it 13-12. But Ezequiel Tovar’s 5th hit, an RBI single in the 9th, gave Colorado a vital insurance run.

The Diamondbacks went quietly in the 9th, and Seth Halvorsen locked down his second save of the season.
