First Inning


The game began quietly for both teams, with neither side managing to score in the first inning. The Blue Birds managed one hit but couldn't capitalize on it. Meanwhile, the Blake Street Bombers took an early lead with one run and two hits in their half of the inning.


Third Inning


By the third inning, Toronto's bats came alive as they scored three runs off three hits. This surge was led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., whose consistent hitting set a tone for his teammates. The Rockies were unable to respond effectively, failing to add any runs despite getting another hit.


Fifth and Sixth Innings


Innings five and six saw Toronto extend their lead significantly. They added another three runs in the fifth inning followed by four more in the sixth. Bo Bichette played a crucial role during this period with his aggressive batting approach that kept pressure on Colorado's pitchers.


Ninth Inning


The ninth inning was where Toronto truly shone, unleashing an offensive storm that resulted in eight additional runs from eight hits. This explosive display left no doubt about which team dominated this matchup at Coors Field.


Throughout these innings, Kevin Gausman delivered an impressive pitching performance for Toronto with an ERA of 1.286 over seven innings pitched while allowing only one earned run from three hits—demonstrating why he remains such a valuable asset to his team’s rotation strategy.
