Rockies defeat Diamondbacks 11-6 in spring training

The Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-6 in a spring training game at Salt River Field, Arizona, on February 21, 2026.

The Rockies took control early, scoring five runs in the second inning to build a lead that the Diamondbacks could not overcome. Arizona struggled on the mound, using ten pitchers and allowing a crooked run total in the eighth and ninth innings that made the final score look more respectable than the game warranted.

Jordan Lawlar opened the scoring with a home run in the second, and the Diamondbacks’ offense was hampered by misplays and a high number of walks. Despite the loss, Arizona’s pitchers recorded thirteen strikeouts, though they walked eight in the first six innings.
