PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks scored in the first inning for the sixth game in a row Sunday, the longest such streak in the majors this season.
Adrian , his first of the season, put the Diamondbacks up 3-0 against the Colorado Rockies.
Several teams this season had four-game streaks of scoring in the first inning. The Diamondbacks exceeded that Saturday night when Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had an RBI single in the first of their that ended on Gurriel’s RBI double in the ninth.
The homer by Del Castillo on Sunday also extended Arizona’s streak to seven games in a row of scoring multiple runs within the first three innings of a game. That matches NL East-leading Philadelphia for the longest in the majors this season.
