Corbin Carroll hits 2 homers, drives in 3 as the Diamondbacks beat the Rockies 8-6

DENVER (AP) — Corbin Carroll homered twice and drove in three runs and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 8-6 on Sunday in the rubber game of the three-game series.

Nolan Arenado and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit RBI singles for a 2-0 lead in the third after Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo got things started — after rain delay of one hour and 45 minutes — with back-to-back walks off Michael Lorenzen with two outs.

Carroll hit his sixth home run following a two-out RBI single by Ildemaro Vargas for a 5-0 lead in the fourth. Carroll then hit a solo shot in the sixth to make it 8-2.

Michael Soroka (6-2) struck out eight and gave up two runs on six hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings. Paul Sewald issued a two-out walk in the ninth before finishing off his 10th save in 11 opportunities

The Rockies didn't have a hit off Soroka until TJ Rumfield, Troy Johnston and Willi Castro had three straight two-out doubles to cut it to 5-2 in the fourth.

Gurriel answered in the fifth with his first homer this season and Gabriel Moreno scored on Jose Fernandez's single to make it 7-2. Moreno had three hits and scored twice.

Jake McCarthy and Kyle Karros had RBI singles and Castro and Brett Sullivan added sacrifice flies in a four-run eighth off Brandon Pfaadt that cut it to 8-6.

Pfaadt got one out and was charged with four runs.

Lorenzen (2-6) gave up seven runs — six earned — on nine hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings.

Rockies LHP Jose Quintana (1-2, 3.97 ERA) starts Monday against the visiting Rangers, who counter with LHP MacKenzie Gore (3-3, 4.50).

Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (1-4, 5.02) starts Monday in Phoenix opposite Giants LHP Robbie Ray (3-5, 3.04).

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero was hit by a pitch on the outside of his left hand and immediately left Tuesday night's All-Star Game.

Caminero was struck by St. Louis Cardinals closer Riley O'Brien with a 98 mph pitch in the top of the third inning with the American League up 3-0.

Caminero, fourth in the major leagues with 28 home runs, stayed down for a few moments before he popped up and ran straight into the clubhouse.

He needed X-rays on the hand.

He was replaced by Miguel Vargas of the Chicago White Sox.

Caminero hit 17 total home runs a night earlier in the Home Run Derby. He hit 45 home runs with 110 RBIs last season, and this season has led the Rays to the top of the AL East.

He batted fourth on Tuesday and became the first Ray to start an All-Star game in two straight seasons. Caminero grounded out in his first at bat against Phillies' ace and NL starter Cristopher Sánchez.
