Rockies Demolish Red Sox in High-Scoring Affair at Coors Field
In a remarkable display of offensive firepower, the Colorado Rockies outclassed the Boston Red Sox with a final score of 20-7. This victory brings the Rockies' record to 38-65, while the Red Sox now stand at 54-47. The game, held at Denver's Coors Field, showcased the Rockies' hitting prowess as they amassed a total of 21 hits compared to the Red Sox's 11.
The Rockies set the tone early in the game, scoring three runs in the first inning on four hits. They continued their relentless attack with two more runs in the second inning and exploded for six runs in the sixth inning alone. Overall, Colorado capitalized on every opportunity, leaving only six runners on base throughout nine innings.
Ryan McMahon and Brendan Rodgers were standout performers for Colorado. McMahon hit a home run and maintained an impressive batting average of .250 for this game. Rodgers was even more spectacular with an .800 batting average and contributed two RBIs to his team's massive tally.
On defense, Brenton Doyle showcased his skills in center field with a perfect fielding percentage and no errors committed. Jacob Stallings also had an exceptional day behind the plate and at bat; he scored three runs from four at-bats with an outstanding .750 batting average.
The pitching side saw Cal Quantrill earning a win thanks to his solid start that lasted six innings where he managed to keep his ERA at 3.0 despite facing aggressive opposition from Boston hitters who managed seven runs over nine innings.
The Boston Red Sox did put up resistance as evidenced by their scoring across multiple innings including two significant efforts in both eighth and ninth innings where they scored two runs each time but ultimately could not overcome Colorado's lead or capitalize fully on their four opportunities created by Rockies errors due to strong defensive plays like those from Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar who also shone offensively with a .500 batting average.
