Trevor Story hits two homers in debut; Colorado Rockies beat Arizona Diamondbacks

Greinke has awful night in Arizona
Colorado Rockies rookie shortstop Trevor Story (27) made MLB history with two home runs in his debut on opening day Monday.

PHOENIX – Trevor Story became the first player to hit two home runs in his major league debut on opening day, and the Colorado Rockies spoiled Zack Greinke’s much-heralded Arizona debut with a 10-5 victory over the Diamondbacks on Monday night.

Greinke (0-1), who signed a six-year, $206.5 million contract with the Diamondbacks, had his worst outing in nearly four years, giving up seven runs, six in one inning. He had not allowed that many runs in a game since the Diamondbacks scored seven against him on May 26, 2012, when he was with Milwaukee.

Greinke gave up three homers in a game for the first time since Aug. 19, 2009.

At 4 hours, 11 minutes, it was the longest nine-inning game in Diamondbacks history.

Story’s first homer drove in three in the Rockies’ six-run third.
