Rockies' Sixth-Inning Spark
The highlight for the Rockies came during an explosive sixth inning when they managed to score all three of their runs. The Rox capitalized on four hits in this inning, showcasing a brief but potent offensive surge. Ryan McMahon's consistent performance stood out as he maintained an impressive .333 batting average from previous games. However, despite this rally, the team struggled to maintain momentum throughout other innings.
