Throughout the game, the Rockies demonstrated resilience and determination. They managed to accumulate nine hits and scored their runs across different innings but were hindered by two errors on defense. The team's batting average stood at .250 for this game, showcasing their ability to get on base but also highlighting missed opportunities to capitalize fully on these moments. Notably, they had eight chances with runners in scoring position but succeeded only three times.


Ryan McMahon struggled at bat this time around for the Rockies; his performance was below his usual standards as he did not manage to get on base and recorded an OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) of just .25. On the other hand, Michael Toglia was a bright spot for Colorado; he hit a home run contributing significantly to his impressive OPS of 1.75 and batting average of .500 for this game.

Ezequiel Tovar showed exceptional skill as well, hitting an impressive .600 and maintaining an OPS of 1.6 which indicates his significant contribution towards trying to secure victory for his team despite falling short in this instance.


The pitching side saw mixed results; Austin Gomber faced challenges as evidenced by an ERA (Earned Run Average) of 7.364 over 3.2 innings pitched which contributed significantly to the team's difficulties early in the game.
