  "account": "DENVER (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll drove in two runs with a powerful triple in the first inning, propelling the Diamondbacks to a 5-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies and preserving their playoff hopes. Gabriel Moreno contributed three hits, including a crucial RBI, to bolster Arizona's position in the National League wild-card race. Merrill Kelly saved his team's lead, allowing only two runs over 5 1/3 innings, and improved his record to 6-0 since 2022 in Coors Field. Jonathan Loáisiga secured his second save of the game, sealing the victory with a crucial catch in the field. Despite the Rockies' offensive efforts, including a first-inning surge, they fell short, allowing an MLB-high 131 first-inning runs. The Diamondbacks' Jonathan Loáisiga marked his second save of the game, solidifying their lead.",
