Makes sense, though — this series must look to Rockies fans like the closest thing to sure wins on the 2025 schedule. Ryan McMahon smacked a two-run homer for the second straight night, Ezequiel Tovar crushed a tiebreaking three-run homer to straightaway center field,

He went seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and just one walk. He allowed just two hits after the second inning, induced two crucial double plays, and threw 78 pitches. It was the fourth time a Rockies starter has gone seven innings this season and the first since Germán Márquez on May 22.

Justin Topa came in for the bottom of the 6th inning, and it went like this: single, stolen base, sac bunt, double, single, sac groundout, strikeout. Twins losing 3-8.
