    It came down to a wild pitch to decide a wild opener at Coors Field.

    Matt Lindstrom's sinker got away from catcher Chris Iannetta with one out in the top of the 11th inning, allowing Gerardo Parra to score from third base, sending the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 7-6 win over the Colorado Rockies on Friday.

    "Does losing in this fashion make it that much tougher?" Troy Tulowitzki said. "It definitely does."

    Parra singled off Matt Reynolds to start the 11th, and Lindstrom came in and struck out a pinch-hitter before Willie Bloomquist singled to right, putting runners at the corners for Kelly Johnson, who was at the plate when Lindstrom threw the wild pitch.
