D-backs score go-ahead run on balk, beat Rockies 6-4

It's been a slog of a year for Mark Melancon, a four-time All-Star who already has lost 10 games this season, which cost him his job as the primary closer for the Arizona Diamondbacks' bullpen. Thanks to some tired arms, Melancon got another chance on Sunday. Daulton Varsho trotted home with the go-ahead run in the eighth thanks to a balk, Melancon earned his 15th save with a scoreless ninth and the Diamondbacks won the series from the Colorado Rockies by rallying for a 6-4 victory.
