Ryan McMahon hit a tie-breaker in the ninth, Antonio Senzatella pitched seven quality innings and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Saturday.

Venezuelan Senzatela allowed two runs and nine hits in seven innings, with two strikeouts and no walks. Carlos Estevez (3-4) scored a scoreless eighth inning and Daniel Bard pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 25 chances.
For the Rockies, Cuban José Iglesias 3-1. Venezuelan Yonathan Daza 4-1. The Dominican Montero 3-2 with one scored and one produced.
For the Diamondbacks, the Dominicans Ketel Marte 4-2 with a run scored, Geraldo Perdomo 2-0.
