The Best Thyroid Diet for Maintaining Healthy Thyroid Levels
Essential Vitamins & Minerals
Best Food Sources
Food to Avoid
Maintaining healthy hormone levels can be a challenge but it is possible. Following a diet that supports the thyroid is a good place to start. It should provide certain nutrients, like iodine and selenium, that naturally support normal thyroid health. Additionally, it's important to be mindful of other types of food that can actually interfere with hormone balance and thyroid function. Let's take a closer look at how you can use the power of nutrition to support your thyroid and encourage normal hormone balance.
What Is Hypothyroidism?
When the thyroid functions normally, it produces the metabolism-regulating hormones T3 and T4. When it's not functioning normally, a thyroid disorder may be to blame. Thyroid disorders typically manifest as the thyroid being too active, or not active enough.
Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid is underactive and doesn't synthesize enough thyroid hormone. Aside from making you feel generally unwell, it can produce other symptoms such as sensitivity to cold, dry skin, fatigue, muscle cramps, constipation, depression, and voice changes.[1] Hypothyroidism is relatively common in middle-age and older adults; according to some estimates, it affects up to 20 percent of women over the age of 60.[2] It's common for affected people to have low energy levels, a slow metabolism, and difficulty maintaining a desirable body weight.[1, 3]
Health Benefits of Following a Thyroid Diet
Diet has a tremendous impact on thyroid health and function. Some foods provide the nutrients the thyroid requires. Other types of food may impair thyroid function. It's important to consume enough of the former and less of the latter. Just as you can't ignore the effect your dietary choices have on your waistline, you can't ignore the effect of nutrition as it helps, or hinders, the thyroid. If you're unsure of the status of your thyroid, a doctor can use blood tests to determine your standing. People who experience thyroid concerns should get tested every five years, beginning at age thirty-five.[4]

Vitamins and Minerals Essential for Thyroid Health
Normal thyroid function and hormone production occur when the thyroid is healthy and it's provided the right nutrition. Iodine, iron, selenium, and zinc are all especially important for the thyroid. It's a good idea to take inventory of your nutritional intake and determine if you're getting enough of each.
Iodine deficiency is a common, contributing factor for hypothyroidism,[1] and, as a global concern, affects as many as two billion people.[5] Iodine is an essential component for thyroid hormone synthesis and actually becomes a part of the thyroid hormone itself.[6] It's impossible for the thyroid to produce hormones without iodine. A healthy, balanced diet should include foods that are a good source of iodine.
If your diet doesn't provide enough iodine, an iodine supplement can help bridge the gap between your intake and requirements.
Selenium is the second most crucial mineral for thyroid hormone production. In fact, gram for gram, the thyroid gland has the highest concentration of selenium in the body. Like iodine, selenium also becomes a part of thyroid hormones.[7] Selenium is also a component of proteins, known as selenoproteins, that act as antioxidants to help protect the thyroid gland from oxidative stress.[8]
It's not possible to discuss thyroid health without considering the importance of vitamin B12. In one study, 40 percent of people who suffered from hypothyroidism also had a B12 deficiency. A supplement can help people who are deficient in B12 or have hypothyroidism.[11] Foods that are rich in B12, while few and far between, and not often vegan-friendly, are one way to consume vitamin B12. Again, supplementation may be something to consider if your diet doesn't provide sufficient B12.
There are a number of other trace elements that contribute to thyroid health; zinc and iron are especially worth mentioning. Zinc is a crucial component of the thyroid hormone receptors that help regulate metabolism and heart rate.[10] Iron boosts the efficacy of iodine.[9] Following a healthy, balanced diet that provides a complete spectrum of nutrients is a good strategy for supporting thyroid health.
Foods That Help Maintain Healthy Thyroid Levels
Seaweed is a great source of iodine and considered one of the most beneficial foods for thyroid health.[12] Believe it or not, not all seaweed is the same; there are a number of varieties to try. Wakame and nori can usually be found in the international section of your grocery store. Wakame is the delicious green seaweed you see swirling around miso soup. If you've ever tried sushi rolls, nori is the dark green sheet upon which the ingredients are arranged. Kelp and kombu, two other varieties, are used to flavor soup stock.
If you're a regular seaweed consumer or feeling adventurous, try making a salad with kelp. It can be an acquired taste! Fruits and vegetables can provide iodine but the content varies considerably depending on the geographic region they are grown and the nutrient content of the soil.[12] Antioxidant-rich foods like dark green leafy vegetables and berries can protect against oxidative stress.[13] Although it is possible to get too much iodine, it's virtually impossible to get too much from eating food.[14]
Many foods are high in selenium. Brazil nuts, pinto beans, and button mushrooms are just a few. Six Brazil nuts offer 774 percent of your daily selenium requirement.[15] Eating just a few every day will provide more than enough selenium. Selenium toxicity is possible with high doses. Whether you get selenium from food or supplements, it's best to stay within dietary guidelines.[16]
Various cereals and nut milk, like almond and hemp, are fortified with B12 — though natural sources are ideal. Other sources of B12 include meat, dairy, and eggs, but, beware, these foods also promote inflammation.[17, 18] Inflammation is often present with thyroid disorders.[19] In fact, inflammation is a cause of hypothyroidism.[20]
Herbs That Support Thyroid Health
Herbs that support the thyroid include Coleus (Coleus forskohlii), guggul (Commiphora mukul) and bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus).[28]
It's best to talk to your doctor before consuming these herbs as they may interfere with certain medications.
Foods to Avoid on a Thyroid Diet
Some foods, such as cruciferous vegetables, can actually work against the thyroid because they are goitrogens. When the body metabolizes the glucosinolates found in vegetables like broccoli and cabbage, goitrin compounds are produced. Goitrin interferes with the synthesis of thyroid hormones.[21] Cruciferous vegetables also contain indole glucosinolates which, when metabolized, yield a product that traps dietary iodine. This can result in an iodine deficiency, even if you consume enough iodine.[22]
Soy is another goitrogenic food. Common sources of soy include tofu, soy sauce, and soy milk. The main isoflavone in soy, genistein, deactivates human thyroid peroxidase (TPO), an enzyme, and interferes with T3 and T4 synthesis. However, a pre-existing iodine deficiency must be present for this effect to significantly lower thyroid hormone production.[23] Older adults, especially women, should avoid soy products if they have an iodine deficiency.
People who take the synthetic T4 hormone L-T4 should avoid coffee, as it interferes with the medication's absorption. If you can't give up coffee, it's best to avoid coffee at least an hour before or after taking synthetic thyroid hormone medication.[24] The caffeine is not the culprit,[25] so you can trade your morning coffee for tea and avoid the coffee-sourced compound that binds to L-T4.
Alcohol is toxic to thyroid cells and harmful for thyroid health. It suppresses thyroid function[26] and affects T3 levels.[27] Clearly, those who have low thyroid hormone levels should avoid alcohol at all costs.
A Thyroid Diet Is Essential for Healthy Thyroid Functioning
Whether you're trying to boost an underactive thyroid or just want to be on top of your thyroid health, following the right diet is key to helping manage frustrations like poor-quality sleep and weight gain.[28]
Ideally, most people should be able to get vitamins and minerals from diet alone. However, if your diet isn't balanced or doesn't consistently provide the completed spectrum of nutrients your body requires, supplementation may be the key.
If you're one of these people, I recommend the Thyroid Health Kit™. It's specially formulated to nourish your thyroid gland and contains our three best supplements for maintaining a healthy thyroid — nascent iodine, selenium,[9] and vitamin B12.

WHEREAS, those professionals, caregivers and loved ones professionals, caregivers and loved ones bravely and compassionately offer more than their expertise, that is, they offer their hearts and therefore are deserving of gratitude, encouragement, and support so that they might carry on, empowered to provide this vital service to our society.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, [name, title], do hereby proclaim March 20, 2015, the first day of spring, as PAIN CARE PROVIDERS DAY throughout [city or state name] and encourage all of our citizens to recognize any and all who professionally, clinically or emotionally offer themselves to ease the suffering and empower those within the pain community.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great seal of the [town, city or state].
It seems to be ignorance fueled or at least supported by politics. Narcotics or heavy duty pain relievers are seen to be an open field for abuse and so there is an increase of regulation which presumes guilt until proven innocent. To promote this day may be seen as a liability as one can be accused of being "soft on drugs" rather than compassionate towards those who suffer.

Joseph Bannister – black, age 33
Sentenced to death in Cook County, Illinois
By: A jury
Date of crime: 9/23/2000
Prosecution's case/defense response: Bannister's ex-girlfriend, Sharon Banks, had taken out several protection orders against Bannister since 1993 and had just obtained an emergency protection order. Bannister went to Bank's apartment, kicked in the door, opened fire on her, and critically wounded her. Bannister then killed Bank's sister, Henrietta Banks, by shooting her three times in the head. Bannister shot the sisters in front of six children, including the daughter that Bannister shared with Sharon Banks. During the penalty phase, the prosecution presented evidence of Bannister's gangster lifestyle and criminal history which included an attempted murder conviction and possession of drugs with intent to sell. The defense argued Bannister was a family man and snapped when Sharon Banks would not let him see their daughter.
Prosecutor(s): Anna Demacopoulos, Lu Ann Snow
Defense lawyer(s): Gina Piemonte, Jacqueline Ross

Jesus Alvarez-Garcia – Latino, age 38
Prosecution's case/defense response: Alvarez-Garcia's estranged wife, Maritza Baez, had taken a protection order out against him after he threatened to kill her several times. Baez was engaged to a Chicago police officer and was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with the officer's child. Alvarez-Garcia saw Baez driving to work, retrieved a gun from his house, and shot and killed Baez while she was sitting in her car. He then drove to a restaurant to eat. Baez was rushed to the hospital where they delivered her baby by cesarean. The baby, Michelle, died three months later as a result of oxygen depravation from the shooting. Alvarez-Garcia confessed to the shooting and admitted he had been thinking about killing Baez since she took out the protection order because she was dating another man.

Surviving Scientology's suppression
Actor shares her story about life after religion
By: Randall King | Posted: 07/23/2018 7:00 PM | Comments:
A few years ago, actor Cathy Schenkelberg was considered enough of a celebrity that she warranted an audition to be Tom Cruise's new girlfriend in the wake of his breakup with Nicole Kidman.
Squeeze My Cans is a one-person show about Cathy Schenkelberg's experience with Scientology. The religion declared her a suppressive person in 2011 after leaving Scientology. (Phil Hossack / Winnipeg Free Press)
That's the theory anyway, recounted at the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival in Schenkelberg's Scientology survival show Squeeze My Cans, performed at the Platform Centre (Venue 24).
At some point, she was ushered into a room in Los Angeles's Scientology "Celebrity Center" and invited to talk about Scientology's most prized celebrity without knowing why.

Suffice to say, she blew that audition.
It probably wouldn't have lasted anyway. As an actor, she was literally invisible, earning most of her revenue as a voiceover artist for commercials, to which she would lend her warm, expressive voice.
And anyway, after spending close to a million dollars at the church to achieve one of the highest ranks possible — an OT VII — she effectively chucked it all when she realized her continued participation in the church would risk not only her sanity but her relationship with her only daughter.
That story is recalled in the one-woman show Squeeze My Cans, a bawdy-sounding reference to the metal cylinders attached to an e-meter, employed to measure electrodermal variations in a Scientologist's body during "audit" sessions.
It's a hair-raising story, but it's told in an entertaining and engaging manner that transcends the subject of the religion started by science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard.
"The show isn't just about a cult and Scientology," Schenkelberg said. "It's about: what did you survive? Did you have a job you hated? Were you in an abusive relationship?"
"I was brainwashed. I think back and I get choked up because, emotionally, it's hard for me. I have to relive it, but every time I tell the story, it's the first time you've heard it."
Schenkelberg makes her journey so relatable, it's not unusual for her to receive consoling hugs from audience members after the play's emotionally charged conclusion.
"We all have our crosses to bear," she said. "Why don't we leave something when we know it's not good for us? Because we think: if I leave, I'll lose my family or I'll lose my insurance. I'll lose my child.
"The show isn't just about a cult and Scientology," Schenkelberg said. "It's about: what did you survive?" (Phil Hossack / Winnipeg Free Press files)
"So I do get a lot of hugs and I'll tell you, the hugs I get from 20-somethings and teenagers are the best hugs ever," she said. "Because I've had people tell me, 'Oh, I walked down Hollywood Boulevard and they wanted to give me a stress test,' or 'I picked up this flyer but I didn't know it was Scientology, so I went in.'
"So this is what makes me incredibly happy, to reach that demographic."
That helps, given that two decades with the church bring up bad memories for Schenkelberg, not only of her treatment by the church but of her beloved family.
"I was brainwashed," she said. "I think back and I get choked up because, emotionally, it's hard for me. I have to relive it, but every time I tell the story, it's the first time you've heard it. That means I get to tell you how much I loved my dad, and how close we were, and how my brother's death affected me.
"So my journey, getting through two decades and a million dollars, has been a long one," she said.
"I still relive it, but I'm functioning and I'm happy. I make very little money, but I'm happier than I was when I made a lot."
"My journey, getting through two decades and a million dollars, has been a long one."
She has experienced some mysterious, petty acts of sabotage against her once she left Scientology. In one instance, a person walked up and down the aisles during one of her spoken-word performances.
In another, she found the air had been let out of her and her daughter's car tires at their home.
Still, she said she has not endured the abuse suffered by other "apostates."
"I was declared a suppressive person in 2011," she said, referring to the religion's designation of a known subversive.
"I took a picture of the letter and posted it on Facebook," she said. "It is kind of a badge of honour because you've survived something. But everybody has a story to tell. I think of the story of a girlfriend who just got divorced after 17 years in an abusive relationship.
"That was her cult."

Experienced RF engineers, technicians, and hobbyists employ decibels in their writings and speech with the fluidity and familiarity of chemists discussing pH levels, geneticists recommending DNA sequencing enzymes, astrophysicists calculating gravitational lensing constants for massive galaxies, or vintage car motorheads calling out ignition timing in reference to TDC (top-dead-center). This article by William Miller takes yet another shot at helping those uninitiated in the realm of decibels to be effectively functional until an eventual - and necessary - firm grasp of the concept is obtained.
By William G. Miller / Industrial Electronics Corp.
A simple method of solving decibel problems in seconds mentally without using charts, tables, or slide rules.
Decibel problems can be solved easily without the use of algebraic expressions, log tables, slide rules, or nomograms. As a matter of fact, with a little practice, you should be able to make accurate mental calculations.
To begin with, it is necessary to memorize two key numbers and their associated dB figures. The key number will tell you what to do to the power value when its related dB figure is used.
1. For 10 dB, the key number is 10.
2. For 3 dB, the key number is 2.
This means that for an increase or a +10-dB change, our power level would be multiplied by 10 and for a decrease or -10-dB change, we would divide by 10.
Similarly, a +3-dB change would then indicate that we multiply the power level by 2 and a -3-dB change would mean that we must divide by 2.
While it is quite easy to see how an amplifier with a 3-dB gain will double the input power, it may be more difficult to realize that an amplifier with a 57-dB gain will have double the power output of an amplifier with a 54-dB gain (both referred to the same 0-dB level).
The power is doubled for every 3-dB gain and halved for every 3-dB loss. This means that we had to double the power 18 times to get to 54 dB and once more to get to 57 dB.
By way of another example, an antenna with a 30-dB gain can deliver only one tenth the signal power of an antenna with a 40-dB gain. Note that the power is multiplied by 10 for every 10-dB gain and divided by 10 for every la-dB loss.
The antenna reference level was multiplied by 10 four times to get to 40 dB and then divided by 10 (-10 dB) to get back down to 30 dB.
Up to this point, we have been using the 10-dB and 3-dB figures separately, but they can be used together to form many combinations.
Problem 1: Increase 4 watts by 13 dB.
Solution: First increase the level by 10 of the 13 dB (to 40 watts). Now increase it by the remaining 3 dB (double the 40 watts).
Problem 2: Increase 4 watts by 7 dB.
Solution: First increase the level by 10 dB (40 watts), then subtract 3 dB by dividing by 2.
Many combinations of 3 and 10 can be used to arrive at the decibel figure you want and different combinations can be used to achieve the same answer.
Technicians who are familiar with powers of ten can pick up even more speed when it is considered that each 10-dB change means that the decimal point is moved one place.
Problem 3: Attenuate 6 watts by -33 dB.
Solution: Move the decimal point 3 places to the left and halve the result.
Voltage and current ratios can also be expressed in decibels but the decibel figure associated with the key number is doubled. 1. For 20 dB the key number is 10. 2. For 6-dB the key number is 2. The same method as described above can then be used for voltage and current ratios.

Fans baffled over death of Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jaylon Ferguson
Jaylon Ferguson's cause of death: authorities consider it questionable, possible drug overdose.
Looking at his medical history, there is no previous illness or any other reason that could explain why he was unresponsive when the doctors arrived.
When Jaylon Ferguson was reported unresponsive in Baltimore's Harwood neighborhood, officials responded to the call and arrived as doctors treated the Ravens linebacker. He was unresponsive and after a few minutes of procedures, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
At approximately 11:25 p.m. Tuesday, Baltimore Police said officers responded to a home in the northern district of the city, where they found Ferguson unresponsive and being treated by medics. Ferguson never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead on the scene by medics, according to police.
Baltimore Police said there were no signs of trauma found and no foul play was suspected at this time. Ferguson's body was transported to the medical examiner's office, where a cause of death will be determined. Investigators are not ruling out the possibility of an overdose, a police spokesperson said.
Baltimore police spokeswoman Niki Fennoy said the NFL player never regained consciousness despite the best efforts of medical personnel.
There was also no sign of head trauma or anything remotely related to it, it left everyone baffled after the fact.
"We are profoundly saddened by the tragic passing of Jaylon Ferguson," Baltimore Ravens said in a Twitter post.

How did Jaylon Ferguson die?
According to authorities, the 26-year-old will undergo an autopsy that will determine the exact cause of death and clear everything up for the authorities and his family.
There is still a lot to be discovered about this, especially with players who are in constant contact with their head. That constant head trauma adds to the already existing problems they go through and many of them become addicted to certain medications.
In many of these cases, we are talking about players who have been trying to overcome this depression through different kinds of painkillers or even abusing alcohol.
Jaylon Ferguson's case at linebacker fits this profile because of his position on the field. However, we can't say for sure that this is the case until we see the autopsy results.
Authorities are not ruling out a possible overdose
Sadly, another extremely young player who was just beginning his NFL career has left us way too soon. The age of 26 should not be a death concern in any sport. Many different reasons for deaths are reported in the NFL, one of which can sometimes be a drug overdose.
If this is the case, it is possible that Jaylon Ferguson has been using Xanax (Alprazolam).
""I can say we're not ruling anything out," Baltimore police spokeswoman Lindsey Eldridge said. "We are not determining the cause of death, but we are considering the possibility that it could be an overdose."
A friend of Ferguson's told police that Jaylon was 'xanified,' meaning he was using Xanax before he passed away. Ferguson was going through a difficult time after his grandmother passed away.

Jaylon Ferguson Life, Family
Ferguson had a son and two daughters with his fiancée Doni Smith.
Born Dec. 14, 1995, in St. Francisville, Louisiana, Ferguson played high school football and basketball at West Feliciana. At Louisiana Tech, his 45 sacks were one better than another Ravens linebacker, Terrell Suggs, achieved at Arizona State.
Ferguson was a third-team AP All-American in 2018.
"The LA Tech Family mourns this morning's tragic news of the sudden death of former Bulldog great, Jaylon Ferguson," the Louisiana Tech football program tweeted. "We will remember his God-given talents on the field and his infectious personality off of it. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends."
Ferguson made nine starts as a rookie for the Ravens in 2019, and he also started the team's only playoff game that season. The linebacker spent time on the COVID-19 list early last season but ended up appearing in 10 games.
"Me and 'Ferg' went through some of the same struggles when it came to making a name for ourselves in the league," linebacker Tyus Bowser said. "From that, we were able to gain an understanding and help each other build and grow as players. From the playbook, to the field — and even outside of work — we created a strong bond amongst ourselves. Whether I was having a bad day or vice versa, we encouraged each other, and that's what I appreciated most and what I'll miss about him."
The Ravens finished minicamp last week and are off until training camp. Wednesday was a tragic day for the franchise, with news breaking that both Ferguson and former defensive tackle Tony Siragusa had died.
"'J Ferg' had the most genuine energy I've ever been around," safety Tony Jefferson said. "Before I left after minicamp in the locker room, he expressed how he was ready to have a big year, and I believed it was going to be his best season as a Raven. He will be watching over us, I know it, and he will bring the team closer just from his mark he left."

Gophers guard mourns death of his mother, who sacrificed to support him.
A heartbroken Dupree McBrayer woke up Tuesday morning thinking the previous day was just a nightmare. Then it hit him that his mother was really gone, that he would never talk to her again when going through hard times.
Coach Richard Pitino said his basketball team is already proud of McBrayer, who impressed players and coaches with his loyalty and leadership during an emotional few weeks. The third-year starter and team captain is expected to play Wednesday night in the team's Big Ten home opener against No. 24 Nebraska. All the Gophers can do is support McBrayer while he mourns the loss of his biggest supporter.
Video (04:59): Gophers coach Richard Pitino, Jordan Murphy and Isaiah Washington talk Tuesday about supporting Dupree McBrayer after he lost his mom to cancer.
Tayra McFarlane, who died at age 58 on Monday in New York after a battle with cancer, taught her three sons to be tough, work hard and stay out of trouble while raising them as a single mom in Queens.
Her sons learned from an early age what hard work looked like, watching their mother log long days and late nights to take care of them. McFarlane's lessons were meant to keep the boys from going down the wrong path, from living lives that resembled those of the inmates where she worked. For over 20 years, she was the Rikers Island prison assistant warden.
McBrayer's brothers are more than 10 years older than him. He remembers growing up with only his mom around, and her being everything to him — parent, best friend, role model.
McFarlane introduced basketball to all three of her boys at a young age "to stay on top of them and their whereabouts and keep them busy," she told the Star Tribune in McBrayer's freshman year.
Looking back, McBrayer recognized his mother's sacrifice to put him in a position to get a scholarship and play college basketball. Noticing his talent, McFarlane spent money on her youngest son to play in AAU tournaments, sometimes instead of paying bills on time. She would tell him to go to a friend's house so he wouldn't be cold if there was no heat in the house.
Pitino, who signed McBrayer out of Sunrise Christian Academy (Kan.) in the 2015 recruiting class, tweeted his fondest memory of McFarlane on Tuesday morning. It was from a recruiting trip to New York when she was thinking of a way to prepare a meal for Pitino, knowing he was Italian. Assistant Kimani Young, who recruited McBrayer and is now at UConn, was there as well.
McFarlane retired from her warden job this past summer to be able to attend more games this season, and she had planned to be there for Senior Night.
When McBrayer struggled as a freshman, Pitino knew he couldn't be harder on McBrayer than his mom already was. When he called her during that first season feeling depressed, she would tell him: "I didn't raise you to be a quitter," McBrayer said.
McBrayer was able to turn things around. The following season, the Gophers reached the NCAA tournament and McBrayer played a major role, averaging 11.1 points as a part-time starter.
The Gophers started this season 5-0, thanks in part to a healthy McBrayer, who was named a team captain with fellow senior Jordan Murphy. But McBrayer was playing with conflicting emotions; he found out this fall his mother was battling cancer.
McBrayer missed the team's media day and fan scrimmage Oct. 28 to be with McFarlane in New York after she had a stroke. Her health continued to decline. McBrayer saw his mom just after Thanksgiving, catching a train from New York to Boston to meet the Gophers before their Nov. 26 loss at Boston College. On that visit, McBrayer's family had to decide how his mother's last days would be spent. McBrayer went scoreless against BC, shooting 0-for-8 from the field.
Coaches and teammates admire McBrayer for playing through such an mentally draining time.
"That's our brother right there," Murphy said about the crafty 6-5 lefty who is averaging 10 points and 2.3 assists in 29 minutes so far this season. He scored 13 points in the 79-59 Big Ten-opening loss Sunday night at Ohio State.

Rockies Game Recaps
Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 2: Rockies end seven game losing streak
Castellani earns first major league win

Share All sharing options for: Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 2: Rockies end seven game losing streak
After a winless week, Rockies fans can take a deep breath after the club defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2. Raimel Tapia and Tony Wolters led the way on the offensive end while Ryan Castellani and the Rockies bullpen limited the D-backs to a pair of solo homers.
The Tony Tap Combo
Raimel Tapia continued to swing the bat well, going 3-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base—his fifth multi-hit game since August 11th. In fact, since the 11th, Tapia has gone 19-for-59 (.322) after opening the season 2-for-16 (.125).
Also joining the three-hit club was Tony Wolters who had himself a game, going 3-for-4 and scoring two runs himself. He also may have been the first catcher to ever get an out by drilling a runner in the helmet.

Wolters wasn't able to finish the game after taking a pitch to the knee in the ninth. He was replaced by Drew Butera.
Ryan comes home for a dub
Ryan Castellani bounced back well and earned his first career win. He pitched a game line of 6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 3 BB and 3 K. Castellani's first win has to feel even better knowing he did it just a few miles away from where his dream of playing in the majors all started.
Castellani did not look like a rookie pitching for his first win tonight. The rook had composure all night no matter the situation. He only allowed three hits, two of which were hammered out by both Christian Walker and Kole Calhoun. This didn't seem to faze him, though, as he continued on for two more strong innings.
Story time in the desert
Trevor Story's dominance at Chase Field continued Monday night after he set the tone early by crushing a homer to left field in the first inning. It was his 11th home run at Chase Field.
Loooooong Gone!

Bullpen Shutout
The Rockies bullpen was handed the game in the seventh inning with the job to hold the one-run lead and get Castellani his first career win. Bud Black went to the Yency Almonte/Carlos Estévez combination to get him to the ninth. Almonte came in and quickly got two outs but was pulled after giving up back-to-back two-out hits. Estévez came in to face Calhoun, who nearly blew the game open for the D-backs with a very deep fly out at the wall in left field. But the ball was caught and Daniel Bard earned the save in the ninth to hand the D-backs their sixth straight loss.
The Rockies stay in the desert for three more games before coming home on Friday to face the Padres. Germán Márquez (2-4, 4.38 ERA) will take the ball for the Rox on Tuesday against young lefty Alex Young (1-1, 4.50 ERA).
