PHOENIX (Interstat) — The Arizona Diamondbacks aim to build on their recent surge when they open a four-game series against the last-place Colorado Rockies on Thursday at Chase Field. Arizona enters the contest with a 25-23 record, while Colorado sits at 19-31. The Diamondbacks took two of three from the Rockies in Denver last weekend, outscoring them 19-11 in the series. Arizona also carries momentum from a 6-3 win over San Francisco on Wednesday. Left-hander Kyle Freeland (0-5, 9.07 ERA) is scheduled to start for Colorado.

In his last start against Arizona on May 15, Freeland lasted just 3 2/3 innings, surrendering seven earned runs on eight hits in a 9-1 defeat. Ketel Marte leads Arizona’s offense. The second baseman went 3 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs in Wednesday’s win over San Francisco. Over his last five games, Marte is hitting .350 with two homers and seven RBIs. Colorado’s offense has managed just 20 runs over its last five games and was shut out 10-0 by Texas on Tuesday. The Rockies have lost five of their last six overall. The Diamondbacks’ pitching staff has been solid, allowing three or fewer runs in four of their last six games. Merrill Kelly earned the win Wednesday, tossing six innings of three-run ball.
