Pavin Smith hit a go-ahead, three-run homer, Drey Jameson threw 3 2/3 innings of impressive relief in his return to Arizona and the Diamondbacks rallied for a 7-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
Pavin Smith started this season in Triple-A. Drey Jameson spent a stretch down in Reno, too.
The Diamondbacks stormed back from an early 4-0 deficit with a five-run second inning, punctuated by Smith’s three-run homer to right-center that made it 5-4. Jake McCarthy had a two-run single earlier in the rally. The Rockies scored three more in the second on Ezequiel Tovar’s two-run double and McMahon’s RBI single.
"We tacked on some runs just by being good hitters," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "Just a lot of little things took place today that allowed us to win this game." Jameson gave up a two-out single in the ninth, so Lovullo turned to lefty Andrew Chafin for the final out. He struck out Elehuris Montero to earn his eighth save in 10 chances.Jameson was brought back to the big leagues on Saturday after his stint at Triple-A Reno.
