The game was marked by the Rockies' struggle to find their rhythm offensively. Throughout nine innings, they managed only three hits and committed two errors. Despite having five chances with runners in scoring position, they failed to capitalize on any of these opportunities. The team's batting average was a mere .100, and their on-base plus slugging (OPS) stood at an underwhelming .289.


On the pitching side, the Rockies' bullpen took over after four innings but couldn't contain the Mariners' hitters who scored three runs during their watch. Their earned run average (ERA) for this game settled at 5.4 with a walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) of 2.0.

In contrast, the Seattle Mariners demonstrated strong offensive performance with sixteen hits leading them to seven runs without committing any errors defensively. Luis Castillo emerged as the winning pitcher contributing significantly to his team's success.


The highlight for the Rockies came defensively from their infielders who combined for sixteen assists and turned three double plays over nine innings despite falling short overall.
