At Nationals Park — with 17,232 fans in attendance — the Colorado Rockies pulled off an electric offensive surge, ultimately defeating the home-standing Washington Nationals 10–6. What had begun as a modest, early back-and-forth contest erupted during a monster seventh inning for Colorado, sparking a four-homer frenzy that left D.C. stunned.

This win marks the Rockies’ third straight victory — only the second time they have achieved such a feat this season — and capped a run where they smacked 10 homers across two road contests, the most in franchise history for a two-game road stretch.

Antonio Senzatela earned the win for Colorado, his second of the season. He delivered five solid innings, surrendering three hits, walking three, and allowing just one unearned run, cutting his ERA to a still-high but improved 6.72.

Michael Soroka, the Nationals’ starter, logged six innings with five hits allowed, three earned runs, two walks, and a season-high nine strikeouts. Ultimately, he was tagged with the loss, however, dropping to 3–5.

After Soroka, Washington’s bullpen stumbled, especially reliever Cole Henry, who struggled mightily in that massive seventh inning for Colorado.

Colorado struck first in the second inning when Thairo Estrada smacked a solo homer — his first of the season — off Soroka to tie the game at 1–1.

In the fourth, Michael Toglia, freshly recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque this series, crushed a two-run homer to center, giving the Rockies a 3–1 lead. But the seventh inning was the turning point as Hunter Goodman launched a three-run shot to left that rocketed the Rockies into the lead (6–1). Ryan McMahon followed with a solo blast, with Toglia adding his second homer of the night. Sam Hilliard capped the inning with the sixth Rockies homer of the game to cap off a six-run inning. Mickey Moniak kept the barrage going, drilling a solo homer in the eighth — his ninth of the year — inflating the Rockies’ lead to 10–1.

Colorado became just the second team in modern MLB history to rack up at least seven home runs while managing just ten hits.

Washington didn’t fold quietly. They began chipping away in the bottom of the eighth with Nathaniel Lowe smacking a solo homer, his ninth of the season, bringing them to 10–2.

In the ninth, a rally emerged: Luis García Jr. belted a two-run homer, and Brady House, the Nationals’ recent call-up, recorded his first MLB RBI with a single, marking his first major league run batted in. Despite scoring four runs in that final frame, Washington ran out of outs to mount a complete comeback as the Rockies took out Anthony Molina and brought in Victor Vodnik to close out the game.

Colorado’s three-game winning streak comes as a rare bright spot in an otherwise dismal 16–57 season. Demonstrating power-hitting potential — especially away from Coors Field — is a welcome sign in a recent stretch of competitive offensive games alongside some solid pitching.

They will play game three on Wednesday with German Marquez facing off against Mitchell Parker.
