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

Mike Yastrzemski was notable for his performance at bat with an impressive .500 average and one RBI. Wilmer Flores also contributed significantly with a .500 average and one RBI as well. On defense, Matt Chapman had some challenges but managed to maintain focus throughout.
Rockies' Resilience

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.
