The Diamondbacks cleared the bases on a sacrifice fly: With the bases loaded in the fifth, DH Ketel Marte hit a drive to the warning track, where it was caught by Rockies CF Sam Hilliard. Not only was it deep enough for SS Jordan Lawlar to tag from third, but 2B Blaze Alexander raced all the way home from second, taking advantage of Hilliard’s apparent lack of urgency in getting the ball back to the infield. Alexander and CF Jorge Barrosa, who started at first, both scored easily when Rockies SS Ezequiel Tovar uncorked a wild throw home. “Those are the little things that we talk about,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “That’s what we do here. That’s DBacks baseball. To say I’m surprised? No. It was a lot of fun to watch.” LHP Jose Castillo is hurt again: For the second time in as many springs, Castillo came off the mound with an injury during a Cactus League game. A year ago, Castillo was positioning himself for a spot on the Opening Day roster with a solid performance in the Cactus League before a line drive off the pitching hand ended his bid. On Saturday, he threw just five pitches in relief before exiting with left adductor tightness. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Castillo, 29, has pitched parts of four seasons in the majors, all with the San Diego Padres . In camp on a minor league deal, he is competing for a chance to be the third lefty in the bullpen behind LHPs A.J. Puk and Joe Mantiply. Next game, Sunday, Feb. 23: Diamondbacks LHP Tommy Henry vs. Mariners RHP Emerson Hancock, 1:10 p.m., Peoria Sports Complex.
