Diamondbacks Aim for Third Straight Win in Denver
The Arizona Diamondbacks enter the middle game of their three-game set in Denver having split their first four head-to-head matchups this season against the Rockies. After dropping the opening two contests of a nine-game road trip, Arizona has rebounded with consecutive wins, including a 14-8 victory on Friday night in which Eugenio Suarez launched his 300th career home run and the club tallied a season-high 21 hits.

Pitching Matchup Breakdown
On the mound for Arizona is right-hander Merrill Kelly (6–3, 3.41 ERA), who has been dominant in June, allowing just two earned runs over his first 13 innings of the month. Kelly owns an 8–3 record with a 3.26 ERA in 16 career starts against Colorado and will aim for a third straight victory in this series. Opposing him is Rockies lefty Carson Palmquist (0–4, 7.76 ERA), still hunting his first big-league win. When analyzing pitching trends and wagering angles, consult our latest MLB picks.
Injury Report and Lineup Updates
Arizona’s depth has been tested by injuries. Catcher Gabriel Moreno was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Monday with a hairline fracture in his right hand and is expected to miss time through the All-Star break. Outfielder Corbin Carroll, sidelined for the last two games with a left-hand contusion, is trending positively and could rejoin the lineup Saturday night if all goes well. Unfortunately, pitchers A.J. Puk, Christian Montes De Oca and Justin Martinez appear headed for season-ending stints on the injured list.
