The Giants started strong in the first inning with LaMonte Wade contributing one run from three hits.

Rockies' Resilience


The Rockies displayed resilience by overcoming early setbacks and capitalizing on key moments later in the game. Their scoring began in earnest during the third inning when they secured their first run off two hits. They continued applying pressure on Giants’ pitching staff through strategic plays that resulted in additional runs during both seventh and eighth innings.


Colorado's offensive efforts were complemented by solid pitching that kept San Francisco’s hitters largely contained after their initial burst of energy early on.
