**Denver, CO** – The Colorado Rockies continued their dominance at home, defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-2 on Tuesday night. The win marked the 535th for manager Bud Black, surpassing Clint Hurdle for the most in Rockies history.

The Rockies, who have a 19-12 record at Coors Field since July 4th, relied on a strong pitching performance from Ryan Feltner and timely hitting to secure the victory. Feltner pitched 6 1/3 innings, giving up just one run on five hits. He received stellar support from his defense, highlighted by a double play by Brendan Rodgers and a highlight-reel catch by Brenton Doyle.

Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman each hit home runs for Colorado, while Tovar continued his impressive season with three hits and two RBIs. The young shortstop now leads the team with 25 home runs and boasts 43 doubles, the most by a Rockies shortstop in franchise history.

The Diamondbacks, who were in a tight race for a wild-card playoff spot, saw their lead dwindle after two straight losses at Coors Field. They remain tied with the Mets for the final wild-card spot in the National League.

The Rockies will look to complete the sweep of the Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, aiming to continue their strong performance at home.
