Corbin Carroll hits two home runs at Coors

DENVER – Corbin Carroll hit a home run in each of the first two innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks lead the Colorado Rockies 6-0 after 2 1/2 innings at Coors Field on Wednesday afternoon.

The first home run gave him 20 on the season, putting him in the 20/20 club for the second time in as many major league seasons. After his second home run, Carroll has 21 home runs and 29 steals.

The Diamondbacks want to avoid a three-game win against the Rockies.

Carroll hit an Austin Gomber fastball into right field, a sure shot that gave the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead. Arizona scored two more runs on RBI singles from Christian Walker and Gabriel Moreno.

In the second inning, Carroll hit a two-run shot down the right field line. Randal Grichuk then hit the first pitch he saw from Gomber straight into center, making it 6-0.
