Gallen (5-8) picked up the win Friday, surrendering seven runs on 10 hits and a walk over five innings in a 14-8 victory over the Rockies. He struck out five.

In a classic Coors Field offensive free-for-all, Gallen got rocked for six runs in the fourth inning, including homers by Ryan McMahon and Mickey Moniak. Arizona retook the lead in the top of the fifth, however, and the right-hander got through the minimum frames necessary to qualify for the win. The seven runs allowed tied Gallen's season-worst performance, and he'll carry a 5.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 86:41 K:BB through 91.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week against the White Sox.

Tawa started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 14-8 win over the Rockies.

Tawa got the start in place of Alek Thomas against a lefty. His playing time has been sporadic since second baseman Ketel Marte returned from injury -- this was just Tawa's second start in two weeks. He was a below-.200 hitter when Marte was activated May 2, but Tawa has put together a .273 average since then in part-time duty.

Marte went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, five RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 14-8 win over Colorado.

Coors Field was a launching pad Friday -- the two teams combined for six home runs and 14 extra-base hits. Marte belted a three-run homer in the fourth inning and then doubled in two more in the seventh. It was the second consecutive three-hit game for Marte, who is lighting it up in June. He's gone 22-for-66 (.333) with a 1.042 OPS, five home runs, three doubles, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored through 17 games this month.

Hence struck out eight over 4.1 scoreless innings as part of a combined no-hitter in Double-A Springfield's win over Corpus Christi on Friday.

Hence was making his first start for Springfield after five rehab outings as he came back from a right rib cage strain. He faced the minimum in his 4.1 frames, with his leadoff walk in the fourth inning immediately getting erased on a caught stealing. Zane Mills, Austin Love and Sean Harney followed Hence to complete the no-no. Hence got his pitch count up to 66 in the encouraging outing and will continue to build up his stamina.

Suarez went 4-for-6 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 14-8 win over Colorado.

The Diamondbacks and Rockies were engaged in the kind of hitting battle that made Coors Field famous. Suarez eventually put some separation between the two clubs with home runs in consecutive at-bats in the fifth and sixth innings. He's been on a homer binge of late, going deep in consecutive games and eight times over the last 12 contests, raising his season total to 24 (fourth in MLB). This was the third time this season he's recorded multiple homers in a game, and Friday's second blast was the 300th of his career -- making him the third Venezuelan-born player to reach that milestone, after Miguel Cabrera and Andres Galarraga.

Bart went 3-for-4 with an RBI against the Rangers on Friday.

Bart started for the third time in four games since being activated from the injured list, and he has hit sixth, third and fifth in the Pittsburgh lineup. He is now 4-for-11 with two RBI since returning and has regained the top catcher role from Henry Davis.

Misiorowski (2-0) picked up the win Friday against the Twins, giving up two runs on one hit and one walk in six-plus innings. He struck out six.

Misiorowski was perfect through six innings, which got him up to 11 hitless frames to begin his major-league career, and he even reached 101 mph with his fastball a dozen times. A Byron Buxton walk and Matt Wallner's ensuing two-run shot ended the hurler's outstanding evening in the seventh, but Misiorowski still boasts a 1.64 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across his first 11 innings. The rookie right-hander's next appearance is slated for next week versus the Pirates, who rank dead last in MLB in OPS (.634) since April 26.

Darvish (elbow) threw around two innings and 40 pitches in a simulated game Friday, MLB.com reports.

Darvish continues to progress after having his throwing program temporarily paused as a result of experiencing soreness following a rehab appearance May 14. The veteran hurler was transferred to the 60-day injured list June 16, though that was primarily a procedural move since he had already missed more than two months at that point. The Padres have expressed optimism that Darvish will be able to make his return to the team's rotation by the end of June, but that scenario is looking iffy given that he hasn't yet resumed a rehab assignment.

Rosario was placed on the 60-day IL on Friday after having surgery for a sports hernia, per MadFriars.

It's been a rough season for Rosario, who fell short in a bid to make the Opening Day roster with the big club and was subsequently DFA'd. The versatile slugger ended up returning to the organization but posted a meager .509 OPS in 29 games with Triple-A El Paso and was then sent to San Diego's ACL team for a reset. Rosario didn't fare much better there, registering a .553 OPS across 12 contests, and he's now slated for a long absence due to the sports hernia surgery. If he returns to action this season, it won't be until at least mid-August.

King (shoulder) said Friday that he's "very confident" he'll pitch again this season, Marty Caswell of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

King hasn't pitched in a game since May 18 and landed on the injured list May 25 due to what was initially deemed shoulder inflammation. The issue has since been classified as a pinched nerve, and King explained Friday that his injury is to the long thoracic nerve, adding that injuries to that specific nerve are rarely encountered in baseball. The righty hurler mentioned that he and the Padres are in the "discovery phase" of understanding the injury, adding that he's seen several specialists across the country in an attempt to get answers. King also indicated that the next step in his recovery isn't clear at the moment, though he noted that he feels he's progressing and believes he's going to be able to return to the mound this season. For the time being, King is focusing on strengthening his injured shoulder and is doing only light throwing. Manager Mike Shildt implied Thursday that the team expects King to be out at least through the All-Star break.
