Rockies, Minnesota Twins and Joe Ryan
Digest more
The Twins enjoyed a stroll in the ballpark Sunday, waltzing to a 7-1 victory over the walk-happy Rockies. Colorado pitchers issued four leadoff walks — three by starter German Marquez — and Minnesota hit four home runs, denying Colorado a rare three-game sweep at Coors Field.
Ezequiel Tovar hit a three-run homer to break a fifth-inning tie and the Colorado Rockies secured their first home series victory of the season with a 10-6 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
If the Twins sell, they have plenty of marketable players to shop, from impending free agents to core pieces under years of team control.
Germán Márquez pitched just three innings for the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, a 7-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
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.
Jordan Beck homered and finished a double shy of hitting for the cycle, Ryan McMahon also went deep, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4 in Denver on Friday night.
