SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) Nolan Arenado homered twice and singled, raising his spring average to a major league-best .580, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-1 on Tuesday.

Arenado hit solo shots off Arizona starter Anthony Banda and closer Brad Ziegler. The slugging third baseman has five home runs this spring, along with eight doubles and a triple.

Charlie Blackmon hit his fifth home run of the spring, off the Diamondbacks' Daniel Hudson.

Chris Rusin, in his second start since returning from a finger injury, allowed a run on five hits in three innings.

Arizona ace Zack Greinke pitched four innings in an intrasquad game on a side field, giving up one run on six hits with four strikeouts and no walks.
