Tough Loss in San Francisco
Rockies fans, last night's game against the Giants was a tough one to watch. The final score was 4-1 in favor of San Francisco, and despite some moments of hope, we couldn't pull off a win. Here's a recap of the action.
Early Chances but No Runs
The game started with a bit of promise when Brenton Doyle doubled to center in the top of the 1st inning. However, Ezequiel Tovar's and Elias Díaz's strikeouts quickly put a halt to our momentum . We left runners on base and couldn't capitalize.
Giants Strike First
In the bottom of the 2nd inning, the Giants went ahead with Matt Chapman's solo homer to left (390 feet) . Our pitching did well to limit further damage, but it set a tone that the Rockies struggled to match.
Toglia's Heroics and Errors Hurt Us
Fast forward to the top of the 7th inning: Michael Toglia brought some joy with a solo homer to right. Tied 1-1, it finally felt like we had a chance! But, unfortunately, the bottom of the same inning saw Lucas Lawrence relieve Ryan Feltner, and a costly error by Toglia put the Giants right back in scoring position. A double by Patrick Bailey brought in two more runs for SFO, putting them up 3-1.
More Defensive Struggles and Game Slipping Away
Things went from bad to worse in the bottom of the 8th. A double error involving Lambert allowed another run to score. The Giants extended their lead to 4-1, making our chance of a comeback highly unlikely .
Final Push Falls Short
The top of the 9th saw some fight from our boys. Kris Bryant got hit by a pitch and Elias Diaz singled to right, giving us a glimmer of hope. However, Toglia grounded into a double play, squashing our final rally and sealing the win for the Giants.
It's tough to swallow this loss, but let's keep our heads up. Baseball is a rollercoaster ride , and the Rockies will bounce back stronger! Until next time, Rockies Nation!
