Rocky Day in San Francisco 
Well, Rockies fans, it was a tough game today against the Giants. The final score of 9-3 doesn't quite reflect the effort given by our team, but there's no denying the Giants had our number this time. Let's delve into the game and see how it all shook out.Rockies' Early Struggles 
The game started slow for our boys in purple. Brenton Doyle, Jordan Beck, and Ryan McMahon tried to put some pressure early but were unable to convert it into runs. In the first inning, McMahon got our hopes up with a single to left, only for Hunter Goodman to ground out, ending our chance to capitalize. Meanwhile, Willy Adames of the Giants rang the bell early with a solo shot, setting the tone for San Francisco. The top of the 5th looked promising as Mickey Moniak tripled to center. Jacob Stallings knocked him in to finally get us on the board. It's always exciting when you see plays like this; it's a small win we got to savor for a moment before the Giants took control again.
Giants Rally 
Unfortunately, the 5th inning was pivotal. With Mike Yastrzemski leading a charged rally, they pulled away significantly. The combo of Adames and Yastrzemski was too much to handle, especially after Yastrzemski brought in those critical two runs with a timely single. Our relievers couldn’t catch their breath, as the Giants' offense put the foot on the pedal, stretching the score and making every RBI opportunity count.Finishing Strong 
The late push in the 8th inning saw Ryan McMahon and Hunter Goodman combining for a couple of essential runs, making the score more respectable. Triple plays were the highlight, and both Beck's and McMahon's efforts there gave us something to cheer about.Despite the loss, there were flashes of brilliance from our batters. Moniak was persistent at the plate, providing multiple opportunities for scoring followed by a strong effort with an infield single by Nick Martini later in the game. The game may be over, but our Rockies’ spirit marches on! There's always the next game, and we'll be ready to rally behind our team!
Let's keep our heads up, Rockies fans! On to the next one!
