Rockies End Series Losing Streak with Victory Over Marlins

The Colorado Rockies ended a 22-series losing streak on Tuesday night, defeating the Miami Marlins 6-4 at Coors Field. This victory marked the team’s first series win since July 31-August 2 against Arizona last season.

Key Highlights

  • The Rockies’ win was their second back-to-back victory of the year, following a previous two-game winning streak on April 30 and May 1 against Atlanta and San Francisco, respectively.

  • Hunter Goodman played a crucial role in securing this series win:

    • Hit his tenth home run of the season in the eighth inning as part of a four-run rally.
    • Homered twice in Monday’s game against Miami, contributing to another 6-4 victory.
    • Recorded two hits on Tuesday, including his twelfth double of the season.
  • Tyler Freeman contributed three hits for Colorado.

  • Jordan Beck added two hits, including an RBI single that tied the game in the fifth inning, followed by Thairo Estrada‘s sacrifice fly that gave Denver an early lead.

Pitching Performance

  • Miami’s Anthony Bender took over from starter Jesus Luzardo and gave up Goodman’s homer, preventing what would have been Luzardo’s third win this month. Luzardo improved to nine wins overall despite taking another loss when reliever Richard Bleier blew his fourth save opportunity earlier this week.
  • Luzardo pitched six innings without a decision for the second straight game after seven consecutive losses. He did not factor into the final score, as relief pitchers combined for five shutout frames after he left the game trailing by one run.
