TEAMS: Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies
Gerardo Parra led off the game with a double and later hit a solo home run in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 6-5 loss to the Colorado Rockies in a sloppy, early-spring game Monday.
Parra, a Gold Glove winner in 2011, is now the fourth outfielder for Arizona behind newcomer Jason Kubel. Parra homered off Jhoulys Chacin.
The Rockies won in the bottom of the ninth when Ben Paulsen hit a solo home run off Jonathan Albaladejo.
The game included six errors, four by Arizona. Colorado first baseman Chad Tracy, son of Rockies manager Jim Tracy, had a misplay in the first inning that allowed two runs to score.
Ryan Roberts and Chris Owings homered for Arizona.
Nolan Arenado and Jonathan Herrera, a late lineup addition in place of the ill Troy Tulowitzki, each hit RBI doubles off Arizona starter Daniel Hudson.

Diamondbacks Game Delayed Because of Bees
Nominally when you hear that there is a lot of buzz surrounding a baseball team it's because of their good play on the field but that is not the case with the Arizona Diamondbacks (who share a complex in Arizona with the Colorado Rockies.) Sunday's spring training contest against the Giants was delayed in the second inning for 41 minutes because of bees. "I was not...
Where have you gone Marco Scutaro? Our infield turns to you
I was just as surprised as anyone when I heard the news that Marco Scutaro had been traded. It had been pretty clear after last season that Lowrie wasn't the answer so not bringing him back was an obvious choice - but the Scutaro thing really left me puzzled. Marco wasn't going to wow anybody with the glove and yeah his arm left a lot to be desired. But the guy could hit...

Video: Tulo punks MLB Fan Cave finalist
While Spring Training is a time for MLB players to get in shape for the regular season it’s not all about business. They’ve got to have some fun themselves and they sure use the semi-relaxed part of the season to do so. Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki had an interview with one of the finalist for MLB’s Fan Cave and things well didn’t go quite as planned. ...
Giants 11, Diamondbacks 1
One of the main reasons Major League Baseball holds spring training in Arizona and Florida is because of the sunny weather. Very rarely are there rain storms in the Arizona desert this time of year, which makes for a perfectly-uninterrupted exhibition season. Almost.
Nobody accounted for an “insect delay.”

LeMahieu flashes leather around infield
The fifth starter's job isn't the only battle going on here at Rockies Spring Training. The last few bench spots on the 25-man roster are up for grabs. Charlie Blackmon seems to have the inside track on the 4th outfielder job, but the team is also going to carry a backup infielder. It's early in camp, but that job very well could go to D.J. LeMahieu.
