A Tough Day in the Mile-High City 
Well, Red Sox Nation, it was a rough one today against the Rockies. From the get-go, it just wasn't our night. The final score read 20-7 in favor of Colorado, and it felt like our boys never really found their footing. There were a few highlights, but overall, the Rockies' offense was unstoppable.Initial Struggles and Rockies' Domination 
The game started with us going three up, three down in the top of the 1st. Unfortunately, things spiraled from there as Ezequiel Tovar launched a homer to left (412 feet) to put the Rockies up early. Despite a nice effort from Rafael Devers with a double in the 2nd, a fielding error allowed us our first run, but it wasn't enough to stop the Rockies' momentum.Home Run Parade at Coors Field 
The bottom of the 3rd and 4th innings were particularly brutal, with Colorado extending their lead with multiple homers including a three-run shot by Jacob Stallings and another by Ryan McMahon. We found ourselves down 13-2 after just four innings. Jarren Duran did manage to hit a solo homer in the 5th to show some fight, but it was a drop in the ocean by that point.Never Give Up Spirit Shines Bright 
Despite the discouraging scoreline, our Red Sox didn’t throw in the towel. Rafael Devers and Jarren Duran kept battling. In the 8th inning, David Hamilton doubled to left followed by a sacrifice fly from Wilyer Abreu to bring in two more. In the 9th, Romy González and Ceddanne Rafaela gave us a glimpse of hope with back-to-back singles, setting the stage for Jarren Duran's triple to right, which scored two more. Even though these late-game heroics couldn't turn the tide, they did remind us of our team’s resilience.Looking Forward 
A 20-7 loss is never easy to swallow, but let's keep our heads up, Red Sox Nation. Baseball is a long season of ups and downs. Tonight was a tough night, but there's always the next game to look forward to. Let's keep supporting our boys, and hope they bounce back stronger in the upcoming games. Go Sox!
