In a pivotal sixth inning, Miami extended their lead by adding another 3 runs. The Rockies' starting pitcher Kyle Freeland had difficulty containing Miami's offense, allowing multiple hits that contributed to his high ERA of 9.529 for this outing.

Eighth Inning


The Blake Street Bombers finally found some momentum in the eighth inning. Mickey Moniak delivered an impressive performance with a home run and 3 RBIs, sparking hope for a comeback among fans at Coors Field.


Ninth Inning


As tension built up in the ninth inning, Blaine Crim and his teammates managed to add two more runs for Colorado. Despite this late surge and strong bullpen efforts from Anthony Molina and Jaden Hill who maintained an ERA of 0.0 during their appearances, it wasn't enough to overcome Miami's lead.

Ultimately, despite out-hitting their opponents towards game's end (8 hits compared to Miami’s total), what went wrong for Rockies was not capitalizing on earlier opportunities which left them trailing behind throughout most innings resulting in a final scoreline favoring Marlins: 6-5.
