Rosscup provided the Rockies with some much-needed bullpen depth while they worked through a COVID spread. The veteran southpaw has a career 5.09 ERA in 86 2/3 major league innings.

Vargas put the Diamondbacks on the board with a solo homer in the second inning off MacKenzie Gore. It was the only run Arizona could score until the ninth. Vargas knocked a single with the bases loaded to drive in a run before the D-backs ultimately fell short in their comeback effort. The 34-year-old infielder is enjoying a career year, slashing .336/360/.575 with seven homers, 22 runs scored, and 26 RBI across 141 plate appearances.

The Rangers went into the top of the ninth inning with a six-run lead. Gavin Collyer had started the frame to close it out, but issued three walks and a base hit to allow a run in with no outs. Latz took over and recorded the final three outs to end the game with his fifth save of the season. The 30-year-old left-hander has settled into the Rangers’ closing role, posting a 0.83 ERA, 0.42 WHIP, and a 17/4 K/BB ratio across 21 2/3 innings.

Gore put together his best start of the season on Tuesday, dominating the Diamondbacks over a career-high eight innings. He scattered three hits and one walk, giving up one run on a solo homer by Ildemaro Vargas in the second inning. He tossed 63 of 95 pitches for strikes, striking out five batters on eight whiffs. The 27-year-old left-hander will take a 4.50 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 53/22 K/BB ratio across 48 innings into a start against the Rockies in Colorado on Monday.

Gallen served up a solo homer to Joc Pederson in the bottom of the first inning. A walk, a hit batter, and a base hit put a second run on the board for the Rangers in the second. Ezequiel Duran made it three with a solo blast in the fourth. Gallen ran into more trouble in the fifth. Texas brought two more runs in before he was relieved with two runners on and two outs in the frame. Both inherited runners would come in to score. The 30-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 5.23 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 29/14 K/BB ratio across 43 innings. He’ll look to bounce back against the Giants in Arizona on Monday.

Peralta gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out seven. He improved to 3-3 with the win. The 29-year-old right-hander has a 3.10 ERA, so he hasn’t been the problem for the 16-25 Mets, who are still in last place in the NL East. Peralta is lined up to face the Yankees at home on Sunday.

Stewart scored on an error in the fourth inning and on a single in the ninth inning with the game well in hand already. He now has a five-game hitting streak after a rough stretch. Stewart is hitting .256 with 10 home runs, 25 runs, 30 RBI and eight stolen bases.

Wood’s home run was his 12th of the year. He hit a solo shot off Brady Singer in the third inning. Wood displayed his impressive strength by taking a low slider and depositing it into the left field seats. He’s hitting .244 with 36 runs, 29 RBI and seven stolen bases.

Lile’s two home runs give him five on the year. He hit a solo shot off Brady Singer in the fourth inning and a two-run shot off Luis Mey in the fifth inning. Lile hadn’t hit a home run since April 22 entering play Tuesday. He’s hitting .264 with 26 runs, 19 RBI and two stolen bases.

Singer gave up six hits, walked one and struck out two. He fell to 2-3 with the loss and has a 5.79 ERA on the season. If you were looking to Singer to fill-in off the waiver wire this season, he hasn’t come through. Singer was out of gas, removed in the fourth inning after 75 pitches. He’s lined up to face the Guardians on the road on Sunday.
