The San Francisco Giants edged out the Colorado Rockies 6–5 in a back-and-forth clash at Coors Field that ended in a ninth-inning implosion. The Rockies (12–54) showed resilience on home turf, but San Francisco improved to 39–28 behind clutch offensive plays and late-inning heroics

Jung Hoo Lee ignited the visitor’s offense with a leadoff triple off Rockies starter Carson Palmquist, putting the Giants on the board immediately. Lee would finish the night 1-for-5 with one triple. Willy Adames followed with a sacrifice fly for a quick 1–0 lead.

Colorado answered in the bottom of the second when Ryan Ritter delivered an RBI single to tie the game. Then, in the fourth, Ryan McMahon launched a solo homer — his eighth of the season — giving the Rockies a 2–1 advantage. It was the kind of power boost the Rockies desperately needed and some clutch hitting.

San Francisco briefly tied it in the fifth on Adames’s 6th homer of the year, but Colorado reclaimed the lead in the 5th with Kyle Farmer’s solo shot, putting the Rockies ahead 3–2.

Later, in the bottom of the eighth, Hunter Goodman tripled and came in to score on a Thairo Estrada groundout, nudging the Rockies 4–2 ahead. Brenton Doyle followed with an RBI triple to score McMahon and make it 5–2 advantage heading into the ninth.

However, reliever Zach Agnos struggled in the ninth, suffering the loss after issuing three walks and allowing four runs on just one hit. Victor Vodnik entered the game and suffered a blown save after giving up two hits that allowed the go-ahead run to score. The Rockies went down harmlessly in the ninth to seal the loss.

This one felt different. Colorado wasn’t simply overmatched—they battled until the final at-bat. McMahon, Goodman, and Doyle provided offensive sparks, and Palmquist limited early damage. But late-inning miscues undid it all. For the Rockies, the season wears on with few bright spots; yet nights like this show their potential. If they can find closer innings execution, they’ll convert those near misses into wins. They will face off against Robbie Ray of the Giants with Kyle Freeland throwing for Colorado.
