# Dbacks Defeated by Rockies 2-8: A Tough Day at Coors Field ## The Dbacks' Struggles Continue in Denver The Arizona Diamondbacks continued their struggles on the road on Tuesday, dropping their series opener against the Colorado Rockies by a score of 8-2. The Dbacks fell behind early, as Rockies starter Kyle Freeland held them scoreless for the first four innings of the game. Meanwhile, the Rockies offense was able to get to Dbacks starter Merrill Kelly for three runs in the second inning. The Dbacks finally got on the board in the fifth inning, when Josh Rojas hit a solo home run. However, the Rockies responded with two more runs in the bottom of the inning, and they added three more in the seventh to put the game away. ## The Dbacks' Offense Continues to Struggle The Dbacks' offense has been anemic in recent weeks, and Tuesday's game was no different. They managed just four hits off Freeland, and they were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. It's a teamwide effort right now and they need to fix this issue soon.
## The Dbacks' Pitching Staff Falters Again The Dbacks' pitching staff has also struggled in recent weeks, and Kelly was unable to stop the bleeding on Tuesday. He allowed six runs on 10 hits in five innings of work. The Rockies' offense was able to take advantage of Kelly's mistakes, and they were able to put up a crooked number in the second inning. It will be quite some time before the Dbacks' offense is able to keep up with teams if the pitching continues to allow many runs consistently. ## The Dbacks Will Look to Rebound on Wednesday The Dbacks will look to rebound on Wednesday when they face the Rockies in the second game of their series. Zac Gallen will start for the Dbacks, and he will be opposed by Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela.
