The Rockies opened the game with a five‑run burst in the second inning, taking a 5‑0 lead that never wavered. Arizona’s pitching staff struggled, with five different pitchers on the mound and a total of thirteen strikeouts but eight walks in the first six innings. Despite the early deficit, the Diamondbacks rallied in the eighth and ninth, but the Rockies’ offense, highlighted by a home run from Jordan Lawlar, secured the win.
Lawlar’s solo shot in the second inning was the only offensive highlight for Arizona, while the Rockies’ lineup produced multiple hits and runs. The game featured eight challenges, five of which were successful, and showcased the Rockies’ strong defensive play, particularly catcher Hunter Goodman’s perfect record on challenges.
