Corbin Carroll homers twice off Austin Gomber as Rockies lose series finale 9-4 to Diamondbacks
Before the Rockies’ relievers could even settle into their seats beyond the right-field wall, Corbin Carroll jolted them awake.
Carroll’s 438-foot blast on Austin Gomber’s seventh pitch Wednesday ricocheted off the second-deck facade and landed in the home bullpen, setting the tone for Gomber’s disappointing start, the bullpen’s long afternoon and the Rockies’ 9-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
“Threw a lot of stuff in the middle of the plate,” Gomber said. “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.”
