Rockies' Ryan McMahon Set to Lead Charge Against Diamondbacks at Chase Field
First Inning
As the Rockies gear up to face the Diamondbacks at Chase Field, all eyes will be on Ryan McMahon, the third baseman who has been a standout performer for the Rockies in recent games. McMahon's consistent fielding with a perfect fielding percentage over three games and his ability to get on base with an average of .194 and OPS of .556 make him a key player for the Rockies' offense. His performance against the Rangers was particularly noteworthy, where he maintained a solid hitting average of .333 and an OPS of 1.167.
On the pitching front, Scott Alexander has shown resilience despite a challenging outing against the Rangers, where he posted an ERA of 9.0. However, his ability to maintain composure under pressure could be crucial in keeping the Diamondbacks' bats at bay. Meanwhile, Antonio Senzatela struggled with an ERA of 11.571 but showed potential with a K/9 rate of 5.787.
Second Inning

Ketel Marte has been exceptional with his power-hitting prowess, boasting two home runs and three RBIs in their last game against the Giants. His slugging percentage stood at an impressive 2.0, making him a formidable opponent for any pitcher.
Corbin Carroll also stands out as a significant threat with his batting average of .400 and OPS of 1.4 over recent games. His ability to hit home runs and drive in runs makes him one to watch as he steps up to bat against the Rockies' pitchers.
Third Inning
The Rockies' outfielders Brenton Doyle and Mickey Moniak have shown flashes of brilliance in recent outings. Doyle's fielding has been impeccable with no errors across three games, while Moniak's batting average hovered around .250, providing depth to the Rockies' lineup.
In contrast, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., from the Diamondbacks, has been consistently delivering at-bats with high averages—his most recent game saw him hitting .400 with an OPS of 1.0 against tough competition from San Francisco.
