The Arizona Diamondbacks did their best to make Sunday's finale against the Colorado Rockies interesting, but the Diamondbacks were able to hold on for a needed 8-6 win and a series victory over their NL West opponents at Coors Field.

Corbin Carroll homered twice, while the Diamondbacks' bullpen held on for a win against the Rockies on Sunday in the rubber game of the three-game series.

An impressive series win in some ways, and a discouraging one in others.

Losing a game to any major league team is not automatically an ominous sign, even considering the record of one's opponent. But the Arizona Diamondbacks' 4-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday was another discouraging look at an offense that has been on the ropes for much longer than what can be considered an offensive slump.

The Diamondbacks struggled offensively, while Eduardo Rodriguez suffered his first loss of the season against the Rockies on Saturday.

The Arizona Diamondbacks get seven home games. Three against the San Francisco Giants and four against the Colorado Rockies.

Struggling Merrill Kelly is coming off his strongest start of the season, and the Arizona Diamondbacks' right-hander will try to build on that against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night in Denver.
