Well, Rockies fans, it was a challenging game for us today as we faced off against the Cubs at home. The final score was 11-7 in favor of the Cubs. Despite the loss, there were some shining moments for our boys that had us on our feet and cheering!
Early Struggles and a Glimmer of Hope
The Cubs got off to a strong start in the second inning with a homer by Dansby Swanson, quickly putting them on the scoreboard. Our bats were a bit quiet initially, but the fireworks began in the fourth inning when Yanquiel Fernández nailed a massive 426-foot homer to center field, bringing Brenton Doyle in with him and cutting the Cubs' lead to 3-2. That was a moment to celebrate!
Crazy Fifth Inning and a Spirited Fightback
The top of the fifth was tough for our Rockies as the Cubs tallied six runs, stretching their lead to 9-2. But our guys didn't back down. In the bottom of the sixth, Orlando Arcia got things rolling with a double, and Kyle Farmer added a sparkling homer in the eighth, scoring Fernández. It was an action-packed game with Hunter Goodman consistently on base and Doyle showing his resilience with two doubles.
