The Giants' offense managed to accumulate seven hits throughout the game, translating into three crucial runs. These runs were distributed across the first four innings, with single runs scored in each of the first, third, and fourth innings. Despite facing challenges in converting opportunities into scores during the latter half of the game, their early efforts proved sufficient for their win.


On an individual level, Jorge Soler stood out by showcasing his batting skills with an impressive average of .500 and contributing significantly to the team's offensive output. His performance included hitting two home runs which played a pivotal role in securing this victory for his team. Tyler Fitzgerald also made notable contributions with an average of .500 and demonstrating exceptional on-base skills.

From a pitching perspective, Hayden Birdsong delivered an outstanding performance as a starter by maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of 3.0 across six innings pitched. His ability to keep batters at bay was evident from his nine strikeouts and limiting opponents to a mere .182 on-base percentage (OBP). The bullpen also held its ground effectively; Camilo Doval exemplified this by not allowing any earned runs and achieving an ERA of 0.0 during his time on the mound.


The Rockies managed to put up resistance primarily in the fourth inning where they scored both their runs but struggled against Giants' pitchers throughout most parts of the game.
