Mickey Moniak drove in two runs and the host Colorado Rockies held on to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 on Saturday afternoon.
Jake McCarthy was 2-for-3 with an RBI, Brenton Doyle 2-for-4 with two runs scored and Willi Castro 2-for-4 with a run scored for the Rockies, who evened the three-game series and won for only the second time in seven games.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. stole home and he and Ketel Marte each went 2-for-4 with a run scored for the Diamondbacks, who had won Friday's series opener 9-1.
It was only the third game at Coors Field without a home run this season.
Arizona had runners on second and third, the potential tying and go-ahead runs, with two out in the seventh but reliever Jaden Hill retired Geraldo Perdomo on a grounder to first.
The Diamondbacks recorded nine hits and drew five walks, but went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
Moniak was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the eighth by reliever Brandyn Garcia to stretch the lead to 4-2.
Antonio Senzatela pitched the ninth to earn his third save, despite allowing two baserunners.
Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano (4-3) got the win giving up two runs on seven hits in five innings with two walks and a strikeout.
Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez (4-1) allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings, did not walk a batter and struck out six.
The Rockies jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on RBI singles by T.J. Rumfield and Moniak as the first three batters all reached with base hits.
Arizona got on the board to make it 2-1 in the top of the second as Gurriel Jr. stole home as part of a double steal with Jose Fernandez swiping second.
Colorado upped its lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the second inning on McCarthy's run-scoring single, which plated Kyle Karros. McCarthy was thrown out at second by left-fielder Gurriel Jr., trying to stretch the liner into left-centerfield gap into a double.
Back-to-back one-out doubles by Marte and Corbin Carroll in the fifth brought Arizona to within 3-2.
