The Colorado Rockies tried to come back with two runs in the eighth inning but they still fell short by one run as they lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks by the score of 4-3.  The Diamondbacks just seem to have the Rockies number right now as they seem to always beat them.

Jorge De La Rosa started the game for the Rockies and only lasted 4 2/3 innings while giving up seven hits and four runs.  He walked three batters and struck out six others.  De La Rosa is now 1-2 with a 9.42 era on the season.

Scott Podsednik had a two run single in the eighth inning to lead the Rockies at the plate.  Other then that the only other Rockies run came in the seventh inning on a Ryan Spilborghs rbi single.  The Rockies had 12 hits in the game but left 23 runners on base as they just coudln’t come up with a big hit to knock in the runs.

The Rockies will try to avoid the sweep as they play the Diamondbacks once again on Thursday.
