Miguel Olivo doubled to lead off the eighth inning, and Ryan Spilborghs hit a pinch hit RBI single to narrow the Arizona lead to 3-1. Jonathan Herrera and Carlos Gonzalez both struck out to end the inning and the Colorado threat.
Jorge De La Rosa was brilliant again, pitching seven solid innings and striking out five Diamondbacks, but he was outpitched by Arizona lefty Joe Saunders.
