The Arizona Diamondbacks had their five-game winning streak snapped Friday night when they allowed the Colorado Rockies to come back and steal a 3-2 victory. Arizona will try to get back in the win column Saturday May 23 behind Zac Gallen, who will face off against Rockies' Michael Lorenzen. It's a late 7:10 p.m. MST first pitch. The D-backs have a 26-24 record while the Rockies are 20-32. But, in particular, the Diamondbacks need one thing from Gallen: a deep outing, as Arizona's bullpen had a rough night on Friday.

The D-backs won that game 8-6. Lorenzen is 2-6, with a 7.03 ERA. His six losses are the most in MLB. Looking at the head to head matchups, Corbin Carroll is the biggest threat to the Rockies right-hander. Carroll has two homers against Lorenzen, including one in the game May 17. Note Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was removed from the table below as he is day to day with a hamstring injury and is getting imaging on Friday morning. News of a roster move is still pending as of this writing.
