The Giants managed to accumulate five hits throughout the game but struggled to capitalize on their scoring opportunities. Despite not committing any errors and showing solid defensive play, their efforts at bat did not translate into enough runs to secure the win. The team's batting average was notably low at .156 for the game, reflecting their challenges in making impactful connections with the ball.


Noteworthy performances came from several Giants players who tried to spark a rally against their opponents. Wilmer Flores stood out by driving in one run and maintaining an on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.0 alongside his batting average of .333 for this contest. Similarly impressive was Tyler Fitzgerald's performance; he hit an astonishing .667 and showcased his power with an OPS of 2.667.

The Rockies managed to secure victory through timely hitting that produced four runs off eight hits. They capitalized on their scoring opportunities early in the game which ultimately proved decisive despite committing one error defensively.
