Our Cleveland Guardians took on the Colorado Rockies in a matchup that was nothing short of a rollercoaster, ending in a thrilling 13-7 victory for our team.Early Lead and Rockies Comeback
The game started off strong for us with Jose Ramirez smashing a homer to right center, bringing in Andres Gimenez and setting the tone early with a 2-0 lead. Our pitching and defense held the Rockies scoreless in the first, setting a strong defensive tone early in the game. However, the Rockies weren’t going down without a fight, tying the game at 2-2 by the end of the third inning, thanks to a big hit from Kris Bryant.
Guardians Pulling Ahead
By the fourth inning, the Guardians began to pull away. Despite the Rockies' initial resistance, our offense was simply unstoppable. Bo Naylor's sacrifice fly and Gabriel Arias' sacrifice fly in the 4th inning were pivotal moments, breaking the tie and pushing us ahead.
Then came the fifth inning, where Josh Naylor and David Fry brought their A-game, widening our lead. Fry's homer in the 7th was particularly electrifying, turning the Guardians' cheers up to eleven!
But let's not forget the bottom of the sixth, when the Rockies tied it up again, making it 7-7. It’s baseball, after all, and anything can happen! Yet, true to form, our Guardians rose to the challenge.

The real icing on the cake was Josh Naylor's second homer of the game in the 8th inning, a monster 438-foot blast that brought in Gimenez and Ramirez, pushing the score to an insurmountable 13-7.
Closing Strong
Our bullpen did what had to be done in the final innings, shutting down the Rockies and securing the win. The ninth inning saw Sam Hentges closing out the game with a double play, a fitting end to a game that had everything: homers, strategic plays, and that unstoppable Guardians spirit.
