"His hits came at big times, that's for sure," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Rosario. "He's just a real good offensive player. It's nice to see him finish strong. "
Tyler Chatwood was touched for two runs on seven hits and six walks in just 4 2/3 innings. Josh Outman (3-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings to get the win.
Miguel Montero hit a three-run home run and Eric Chavez drove in a run for the Diamondbacks, who have lost four of their last five games.
Brandon McCarthy lasted six innings and gave up two runs on 11 hits. Will Harris (3-1) was beat up for four runs on four hits in the seventh for the loss.
"Today, I didn't feel sharp at all," McCarthy said. "I didn't feel strong. It was one of those ones that you have to battle through."
Colorado got two across in the first thanks to a two-run single from Rosario, but Chavez had a sac fly in the third and scored on a wild pitch in the fifth to tie the game.
The Rockies grabbed the lead back in the seventh inning thanks to an RBI single from LeMahieu, a two-run double off the bat of Rosario, and a two-run triple by Blackmon for a 7-2 lead.
Outman got Gerardo Parra to hit into a double play to end the seventh inning, while Chad Bettis pitched a 1-2-3 eighth for Colorado.
