The match was characterized by strong defensive plays from both sides initially.

Throughout the contest, Colorado amassed twelve hits and committed a single error, showcasing their offensive prowess.

Peralta concluded this outing with an Earned Run Average of 5.786 and a Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched rate of 1.9286 – numbers that underscored his difficulties in keeping runners off base.
