The encounter was marked by a scarcity of hits from both squads. The Rockies managed to secure just three hits over nine innings but made those count by rallying all three runs during the sixth inning. This offensive surge proved pivotal in a matchup where both teams struggled to find their rhythm at bat.


Michael Toglia emerged as the hero for Colorado, delivering at crucial moments. His contributions included a home run and all three runs batted in for his team. Toglia's batting average soared to .667 for the game, underlining his impactful performance despite limited chances.

Ryan Feltner took charge on the mound for Colorado, delivering six innings of work with an earned run average (ERA) standing at an impressive 1.5 while striking out nine batters. His stellar performance laid the groundwork for Tyler Kinley and Angel Chivilli from the bullpen to seal the win; both relievers recorded an ERA of 0.0 during their stints.


Conversely, Milwaukee found it challenging to establish momentum with their bats against Colorado's formidable pitching lineup, managing only two runs off four hits throughout nine innings. Their struggle was accentuated by missed opportunities and leaving runners stranded when it mattered most.
