**DENVER, CO** – The Colorado Rockies suffered a 9-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, with a disastrous start by Austin Gomber and a long afternoon for the bullpen setting the tone for the defeat.

Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll ignited the game with a monstrous 438-foot homerun off Gomber’s seventh pitch, sending the ball crashing into the home bullpen. The blast signaled a tough outing for Gomber, who admitted to struggling with command.

“Threw a lot of stuff in the middle of the plate,” Gomber stated. “The scouting report is most definitely not: ‘Throw stuff in the middle of the plate.’ I’ve done a really good job of that for I feel like the better part of two months now, and today that wasn’t the case.”

The Rockies bullpen, forced to enter the game early, faced a difficult task against the hot-hitting Diamondbacks. This defeat puts the Rockies in a difficult position, needing to bounce back quickly to avoid further setbacks in the standings.
