(AP Photo/David Zalubowski) DENVER (AP) — Mickey Moniak hit a three-run homer to cap a four-run fifth inning, Antonio Senzatala won his second straight start, and the major league-worst Colorado Rockies snapped a three-game skid with a 4-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The Rockies (18-60) avoided the worst record through 78 games in the modern era. The 1907 St. Louis Cardinals and 1932 Detroit Tigers also went 18-60. Advertisement Moniak hit a first-pitch changeup from Brandon Pfaadt (8-5) 385 feet down the right-field line to make it 4-2. It was his second homer of the three-game series and 11th of the season. Senzatela (3-10) gave up two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings. He had won once in 14 starts before beating Washington on Tuesday. Randal Grichuk had two hits and two RBIs for the D-backs, who were attempting to move three games over .500 for the first time since May 20. Arizona's Eugenio Suárez doubled to extend his extra-base hit streak to four games. He is 10 for 18 with four homers, two doubles and nine RBIs over that stretch. Advertisement Seth Halvorsen retired Ketel Marte on a fly ball with a runner on second in the ninth for his sixth save, and the Rockies' Tyler Freeman extended his hitting streak to a career-best 10 games. Pfaadt has given up 22 earned runs in his last 18 innings. Key moment Moniak appeared to be sitting on Pfaadt's changeup, one of nine he threw to left-handed hitters.

Diamondbacks lookahead: Time to clean up on MLB's bottom-feeders, long homestand starts
The Arizona Diamondbacks conclude a three-game series in Denver on June 22, against the Colorado Rockies, with right-hander Brandon Pfaadt looking for his ninth win of the season. Then it's on to Chicago to play three games with the White Sox before hosting the Miami Marlins. All three opponents held down last place in their respective divisions as of June 20. Advertisement Arizona faces Chicago for the only time this season June 23-25. The White Sox had Major League Baseball's worst record last season, 41-121, beating out the 1962 New York Mets (120 losses) for the worst record in the modern era. As of June 19, the White Sox were already more than halfway to that win total with 23 wins. Chicago entered its June 19 doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on a six-game losing streak, however. The White Sox have had a revolving door with their pitching staff, much like the Diamondbacks, with injuries and ineffectiveness leading to roster moves and call-ups from the minors. The Diamondbacks are 17-7 all-time against the White Sox, 9-3 in Chicago and have won every series against the Sox since 2014, five in all. Advertisement Right-hander Shane Smith, 25, is scheduled to start the series opener against the Diamondbacks. He has been the team's most productive starter; his 2.85 ERA and 1.22 WHIP led the rotation entering play June 20. Former Dodgers prospect Miguel Vargas has been Chicago's most productive hitter. He's the only White Sox player with as many as 10 home runs. After finishing their three-city road trip June 25 in Chicago, the Diamondbacks have an off day before returning to Chase Field for a long homestand. Arizona begins the 10-game set with three against the Miami Marlins, a team the Diamondbacks swept in a three-game series in Miami earlier this season. The Marlins series is June 27-29 at Chase Field. This article originally appeared on Arizona Republic: Looking ahead to Diamondbacks' next two series

Blue Jays lose outfielders Clase and Straw to injury in 2 innings against Diamondbacks
Toronto Blue Jays' Jonatan Clase runs down a single hut by Philadelphia Phillies' Weston Wilson during the eighth inning of a baseball game, Sunday, June 15, 2025, in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Laurence Kesterson) TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays lost center fielders Jonatan Clase and Myles Straw due to injuries within two innings Tuesday night against Arizona. Clase, who started in center, exited after being hit on the right knee by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth. Straw, his replacement, departed after crashing into the wall and spraining his right ankle while chasing down a double in the top of the fifth. Clase went down in pain after he was hit by a 93 mph sinker from Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Clase stayed in to run the bases, but the inning ended when the next batter, Bo Bichette, flied out. The Blue Jays said Clase left because of a bruised right knee. Four batters into the next inning, Straw slammed into the wall and went down while trying to catch Josh Naylor's RBI double. Naylor put his hands on his head as he looked out at Straw, his former Cleveland teammate, lying prone on the field. The Arizona slugger then walked all the way out to the wall to check on Straw. Naylor and Straw were teammates for parts of four seasons in Cleveland and became good friends in that time. 'He's a fierce competitor, incredible athlete,' Naylor said. 'He's a dear friend of mine and I just wanted to make sure he was OK. We got really close over our years in Cleveland and I'm very thankful for the relationship we have. I hated to see him go down. He's like a brother to me, so I just wanted to make sure he's all right." Straw eventually got to his feet and walked off the field through an outfield gate. He was replaced by rookie Alan Roden. Straw called Naylor 'one of my best friends in the game," adding that he doesn't expect to be sidelined too long. 'That's just who he is,' Straw said of Naylor. "He's a lover. He truly cares about everyone.' Toronto rallied for a 5-4 victory. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press
