Colorado prevailed 10-8 and outscored Arizona 86-72. The Diamondbacks clinched a playoff spot in Denver at the end of the season, then dropped the final 2 games as Colorado clinched a tie for the wild card with San Diego to force a 1-game playoff. The Diamondbacks shortstop Stephen Drew hit .500 in the National League Division Series against the Cubs, and Chris Young, center fielder, blasted 2 home runs off them in 3 matches. For the Rockies, 2B Kaz Matsui delivered six RBI out of the leadoff spot in the elimination of the Phillies. The heart of the Rockies’ lineup proves the difference, outslugging the Diamondbacks’ and nullifying their effective late relief, so make it Colorado in six.
