Rockies' Bats Silenced as Phillies Edge Out Victory at Coors Field
First Inning
The Colorado Rockies faced off against the Philadelphia Phillies in a tightly contested game at Coors Field.

The game saw an attendance of 23,308 fans and lasted for 2 hours and 19 minutes.
In the first inning, both teams started cautiously. The Rockies' lineup struggled to find rhythm against the Phillies' pitching staff. Despite having seven hits throughout the game, they were unable to convert these into runs. Ryan McMahon and Ezequiel Tovar showed promise early on but couldn't break through Philadelphia's defense.
Fourth Inning
The fourth inning marked a turning point as the Phillies managed to score their first run. A combination of strategic hitting and capitalizing on fielding errors by the Rox allowed them to take a lead that they would not relinquish for the remainder of the game. Germán Márquez pitched effectively for Colorado but was let down by defensive lapses that contributed significantly to Philadelphia's scoring.
Seventh Inning
As we moved into the seventh inning, another run from Philadelphia extended their lead further. This time it was due in part to consistent pressure applied by their hitters combined with another error from Colorado's side. Despite this setback, Tyler Kinley came out strong from Colorado’s bullpen with an impressive performance that kept further damage at bay.
