A Tough Start But We Put Up a Fight! 
️
As a Colorado Rockies fan, you've got to be ready for anything. Today's match against the Chicago White Sox was a roller coaster! The game started slowly, with neither team bringing in any runs during the first three innings. Our defense managed to keep the White Sox at bay, even with a rocky catcher interference call that put another runner on base. Despite some early promising moves like Mickey Moniak's single and a stolen base attempt, the first few innings just didn't see any breakthroughs.Turning the Tide in the 5th! 
The 4th inning brought some tension to the Rockies side, with two runs by the White Sox. Andrew Benintendi and Miguel Vargas crossed home, putting us two runs behind. Enter the 5th inning, when our Rockies showed some grit! Michael Toglia doubled to left and eventually, with an error from the Sox, he was able to score, putting us on the board. Then, Tyler Freeman delivered a timely double to bring in Ryan Ritter and tie the game 2-2. 
Falling Just Short 
The highlight (or lowlight) came in the 6th inning when Edgar Quero hit a homer to right, putting the Sox back in the lead. Despite some solid pitching changes and a few clutch moments in defense and offense—especially Mickey Moniak consistently showing his stuff with singles and attempts to get into scoring position—we couldn't find a way to bring in another run.At the bottom of the 9th, with two outs and Moniak on base after a sharp single, hope was still alive. But our hopes were dashed when Ryan McMahon struck out swinging, concluding our battle against the Sox with a final score of Rockies 2, White Sox 3.
Though it wasn't the outcome we were hoping for, the Rockies showed tenacity throughout. Onwards and upwards, Rockies Nation! Let's keep supporting our team and keep our eyes on the prize!
