A Rocky Mountain Roller Coaster 
What a game, Rockies fans! The Colorado Rockies pulled off an incredible 7-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Coors Field. This one had us on the edge of our seats until the very end. Let's dive into how it all went down!
Quiet Start But Giants Fire First 
The game started off slow for both sides until the Giants made a move in the 2nd inning. Despite a solid start, we saw Matt Chapman double to left, followed by a walk to Mike Yastrzemski. Then came the big hit by Thairo Estrada with a triple to left, bringing in both Chapman and Yastrzemski. The inning ended with the Giants up 2-0.
In the 3rd, the Giants added another run with Jorge Soler scoring after a groundout by Patrick Bailey. Things were looking a bit grim as we were down 3-0 by the end of the 3rd.
Rockies’ Claws Start to Show 
It took a while, but our Rockies started to fight back in the bottom of the 6th inning. Elias Díaz got on base after being hit by a pitch, and then Brenton Doyle smashed a 434-foot homer to bring us within one run! Score: 2-3.
Heroics Late in the Game 
The pivotal moment came in the bottom of the 8th inning. With Michael Toglia at second and Brendan Rodgers at third, Jake Cave blasted a 410-foot home run to right-center, scoring three runs and taking the lead 6-3! We weren’t done yet. Ezequiel Tovar added a cherry on top with a solo shot to left, making it 7-3. Rockies fans were in absolute euphoria!
Sealing the Deal 
In the top of the 9th, Allan Winans came in relief and shut down any hopes the Giants had. He struck out Brett Wisely, and got Soler and LaMonte Wade Jr. to ground out, sealing our glorious win at 7-3.
Final Thoughts 
What a night for the Rockies! Brenton Doyle, Jake Cave, and Ezequiel Tovar were the standouts with their big hits, especially in clutch moments. Our bullpen was rock solid, preventing the Giants from adding any more runs after the 3rd inning. Way to go, Rockies! Let's keep this momentum going!
