The excitement started right off the bat in the top of the 1st inning when Jorge Soler crushed a solo homer to center field, sending an electrifying jolt through Giants Nation.
LaMonte Wade Jr. then singled to center, but unfortunately, he was out on a double play when Heliot Ramos grounded into it. Despite that, the tone was set!Defense Holds Strong
Our defense shone brightly, keeping the Rockies scoreless until the 4th inning. Ryan McMahon walked twice, but Jake Birdsong and our bullpen did an incredible job of shutting Colorado down. Rodgers did manage to hit a two-run homer in the 4th, but that was all they could muster against our steady pitching and rock-solid fielding.Adding to the Lead
The Giants' offense kept pushing forward. Tyler Fitzgerald launched a solo homer in the top of the 3rd inning, extending our lead to 2-0. In the 4th, Matt Chapman singled and eventually scored due to a passed ball by the Rockies' catcher, increasing our lead to 3-0.Keeping the Rockies at Bay
Walker and Tyler Rogers were phenomenal in relief, maintaining our lead into the later innings. We did have a bit of a scare in the bottom of the 7th when Jake Cave doubled, but Sam Hilliard lined out to end the inning without any further damage.Doval Shuts the Door
The 9th inning was a nail-biter, as Jake Doval came in to close. He got Toglia and Rodgers both looking on strikeouts.
Cave walked and stole second, adding some suspense. However, Jacob Stallings grounded out to Matt Chapman, and that was all she wrote!Final Thoughts
A huge win for our Giants!
