Tough Loss in Colorado 😔

The Giants faced another tight game against the Rockies, but unfortunately, it ended with a narrow 3-4 loss. Let's break down the action!

Early Inning Drama​

Our bats were cold to start the game. Jorge Soler struck out looking, Luis Matos popped out, and Heliot Ramos grounded out in the top of the 1st. Meanwhile, the Rockies managed to put up two quick runs in their first inning. Charlie Blackmon walked, Ezequiel Tovar singled, and a couple of timely plays brought them home. Brenton Doyle scored Tovar with an infield single; Doyle then got caught stealing to end the inning. Rockies were up 2-0. 😡

Fitzgerald Sparks Hope!​

In the top of the 3rd inning, Curt Casali flied out, but Tyler Fitzgerald hit a solo home run to left center (420 feet)! What a shot! 🚀 This put us on the board, making it 2-1 Rockies. However, the Rockies held off further damage for the rest of the inning.

Exchanging Blows​

The 5th inning saw both teams pushing hard. Mike Yastrzemski tripled to right, and Tyler Fitzgerald stepped up again, doubling to left to score Yastrzemski and tie the game at 2-2. But in the bottom of the 5th, Ezequiel Tovar answered with a two-run homer for the Rockies, putting them back in the lead 4-2. 😠

Narrowing the Gap​

In the top of the 6th, the Giants showed resilience. A throwing error allowed Matt Chapman to get on base, and a clutch double by Wilmer Flores brought him home to make it 4-3. 👍 However, we couldn't capitalize further, and the Rockies hung on to their lead.

Final Innings Heartache 💔

The game was tight all the way to the end. We had chances in the 8th and 9th innings but failed to capitalize. Patrick Bailey struck out in place of Curt Casali, and pinch-hitter LaMonte Wade Jr. couldn't convert in a crucial moment. Final score: Rockies 4, Giants 3.

While it’s a tough pill to swallow, there were bright spots, especially the efforts from Tyler Fitzgerald and Wilmer Flores. Let's keep our heads up and get ‘em next time! Go Giants! ⚾🧡
