Arizona starter Zack Godley gave up two hits in the first inning, including Charlie Blackmon's 24th career leadoff homer and second this season, but then retired 13 straight batters and 19 of 20 before Raimel Tapia led off the eighth with an infield single. From that point on, the game belonged to Arizona. The Diamondbacks scored 16 runs in Wednesday's win and five or more runs in six of their last eight games. "So they were ready".
"Today I feel really good", Senzatela said. I don't know exactly if hitting in here had something to do with the production.
WHITE SOX 9, TWINS 0: Jose Abreu and Todd Frazier each hit two-run homers in the first inning, Jose Quintana cruised behind the support, and Chicago won at Minneapolis after a rain-delayed start of 4 hours and 50 minutes that was the longest in Twins history. Senzatela wasn't at his best Friday, serving up a season-high three home runs, but he was still good enough to pick up his ninth win across 11 decisions. Paul Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and four RBIs to lead the DBacks to their 12th win in 14 games. Even pitcher Taijuan Walker joined in the fun with an RBI single.

Walker (6-3), who had eight strikeouts, allowed three runs and six hits, including a solo home run by Mark Reynolds in the second. In fact, the two games marked just the third time in Rockies history that starters allowed nine or more earned runs in consecutive games.
In Philadelphia, Aaron Nola pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning, Freddy Galvis and Tommy Joseph homered, and the Phillies ended a five-game losing streak. Hoffman had only eight earned runs in 32 frames prior and left with nine in just 0.2 innings.
"It was one of those things where I was not making good pitches and they were doing what they were supposed to do with them", Hoffman said. "Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do that tonight". Iannetta, who narrowly avoided being hit in the head again, remained in the game and Fletcher finished calling the top of the seventh. And that was pretty much it for the Rockies' offense against Godley.
Diamondbacks: OF Yasmany Tomas (right groin tendinitis) ran the bases and was scheduled to take batting practice Thursday.
Rockies: RHP Chad Qualls, placed on the 10-day DL because of back spasms, threw on the side Wednesday and seems on target to return in the next week.
