Arizona’s Eduardo Rodriguez pitched seven scoreless innings after suffering his first loss of the season against the Rockies last weekend.

Colorado took advantage after he left, tying it at 1 in the eighth when Juan Morrillo hit Tyler Freeman with the bases loaded.

Paul Sewald (1-4) worked a perfect ninth and Juan Mejia (0-4) walked two in the bottom half.

Carroll lined a single to right on a 2-2 count and Gabriel Moreno beat the throw to the plate for Arizona’s second walk-off win in three games. Ketel Marte hit a winning two-run homer in the Diamondbacks’ 5-3 victory over San Francisco on Tuesday.

Carroll also drove in a run on a fielder’s choice in the sixth inning for Arizona’s first five -game winning streak since June 9-14, 2025.

Rodriguez didn’t allow a hit until Ezequiel Tovar’s bloop double just inside the line in right. Jake McCarthy followed with a one-out infield single, but Rodriguez made a nifty play to throw out Tovar at the plate on Braxton Fulford’s safety squeeze.

The left-hander got Troy Johnston to fly out to end the inning with two on and induced an inning-ending double play in the sixth after the Rockies hit two weak singles.

Zach Agnos got his first career start when the Rockies opted for a bullpen game to give right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano an extra day’s rest.
