Rangers edge D-backs 4-2 in final Tucson home game
TUCSON, Ariz. — There was no great sentiment in Arizona Diamondbacks final game at Tucson Electric Park, their spring training home since the franchise was born a dozen years ago.
Just a crowd of 5,184, about half of capacity, watching Arizona ace Dan Haren go through a routine final outing before his opening day start and Texas’ Colby Lewis shut out the Diamondbacks for seven innings in the Rangers’ 4-2 victory on Tuesday.
The Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies will move from Tucson next spring to a new facility on the outskirts of Scottsdale. Arizona plays Colorado at the Rockies’ Hi Corbett Field on Wednesday in the final spring game in Tucson.
Haren allowed three runs on eight hits in 6 1-13 innings, striking out seven and walking none.
