Greinke (10-4) held the Rockies to just two earned runs on three hits over seven sharp innings Saturday, recording eight strikeouts in the process.
Greinke kept the Rockies' bats quiet all night until Trevor Story connected on a two-run homer in the seventh inning, ruining the shutout bid and shrinking the D-Backs' lead to 3-2. However, the ace right-hander quickly rebounded to retire Alexi Amarista and exit with the lead. Fernando Rodney would later close the door on a comeback attempt, giving Greinke his second win in a row. The 33-year-old leads Arizona with 10 wins on the season and increased his K:BB ratio to an excellent 124:22 in the process. His last scheduled start before the All-Star break would fall next Friday against the Reds.
