Arizona Topples Colorado, 6-4
The Arizona Firestorm picked up a win at Chase Field, dropping the Colorado Rockies, 6-4. Zack Greinke, who is tied for 4th in the NL in strikeouts with 41, was the difference-maker. In 7 innings, Greinke surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 1. He allowed 4 runs. The save went to Ehren Wassermann, his 7th this season.

Aaron Hill had a big 2-run double for the Firestorm in the bottom of the third inning. With Arizona leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from 31-year old left-handed pitcher Nick Gravelle and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 10th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Firestorm ahead, 3-0.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Hill, "one at-bat at a time."

Colorado is 14-18 after the defeat.
