Justin Lawrence emerged as a key player for the Rockies from the bullpen, contributing significantly to holding off the Mariners' offense and earning himself a win. He showcased control and efficiency by maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 over his appearance.


On defense, Colorado executed one double play while maintaining a fielding percentage just shy of perfection at .976 despite one throwing error that did not lead to any Seattle runs.
