Last Meeting ( Sep 20, 2014 ) Arizona 1, Colorado 5

The Colorado Rockies look to extend their winning streak to a season-high six games on Sunday when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have lost five in a row. Michael Cuddyer’s season has been marred by injury, but he’s 12-for-25 with nine RBIs during his six-game hitting streak for the Rockies, who have outscored Arizona 27-10 in the first three games of the series. “When he’s been out there, he's showing he's still an elite hitter in this game,” manager Walt Weiss told reporters. “He gets the barrel of his bat to the ball with impact.”

Left fielder Ender Inciarte is 13-for-36 during his nine-game hitting streak for the Diamondbacks, who have been outscored by the Rockies 26-4 since the beginning of the sixth inning on Thursday. Arizona right fielder David Peralta returned to the lineup Saturday after missing two weeks due to a lower back strain and singled in three at-bats. Colorado first baseman Justin Morneau had two hits in Saturday’s 5-1 victory and moved into a first-place tie with Pittsburgh’s Josh Harrison (.318) in the National League batting title race.
