First Inning


The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Friars were unable to register any hits in the opening inning, while the Rox managed just one hit without scoring. This set the tone for what would be a defensive battle early on.


Third Inning


In the third inning, Colorado broke through first when they capitalized on an opportunity and scored their initial run. The Padres' pitching staff, led by starter Nick Pivetta who maintained an ERA of 3.0 in this outing, worked diligently but couldn't prevent this early breakthrough from their opponents.


Fifth Inning


As we moved into the fifth inning, both teams continued to battle it out on defense. However, it was again Colorado that found success at bat by adding another run to their tally. Despite efforts from San Diego's bullpen—where Alek Jacob showcased his skills with an impressive K9 rate of 18—their offense remained stagnant.


Seventh Inning


By now trailing by two runs entering into seventh inning playtime; things didn't get any easier for Slam Diego’s lineup which struggled throughout against solid pitching performances delivered consistently across innings by Rockies’ pitchers who allowed only three hits overall during entire match duration lasting over two hours fifteen minutes long under night skies above Denver city limits here tonight!
