Rockies Takedown Brewers to Avoid Sweep
Today, in a last-ditch effort to get a win in this series, the Colorado Rockies came out swinging and delivered a much-needed win against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Rockies broke their losing streak with a convincing 7-2 victory, powered by timely hitting and a strong performance from their bullpen. They wasted no time, striking in the first inning with a solo home run by center fielder Brenton Doyle, setting the tone for the rest of the game. The Brewers responded in the fourth when William Contreras doubled to left, bringing home Christian Yelich to tie the game at one apiece. That was the closest Milwaukee came to overtaking Colorado. The Rockies pulled ahead again in the seventh with an RBI single by Doyle, who had a standout performance at the plate.
The game’s defining moment came in the eighth inning when the Rockies’ offense took off for five runs. Michael Toglia delivered a crucial blow with a two-run double that broke the game wide open. The inning capped off a dominant offensive showing for Colorado, who ended the night with seven runs on ten hits. Doyle led the charge, going three for four with a home run, five RBIs, and a stolen base, earning Player of the Game honors.
On the mound, Rockies starter Ryan Feltner turned in a solid outing, pitching five innings while giving up just one run on three hits and striking out five. The Rockies’ bullpen took care of the rest, locking down the Brewers with four scoreless innings. Tyler Kinley picked up the win after entering in relief and keeping Milwaukee quiet through a tense seventh inning. The Brewers, on the other hand, struggled to generate momentum.
Starter Quinn Priester kept them in the game early, allowing just one run over five innings. However, the bullpen collapsed late, particularly in the eighth inning when Joel Payamps gave up five runs. Offensively, the Brewers managed only four hits, with Contreras’s RBI double being the lone highlight. With the win, the Rockies improved their record to 3-9, while the Brewers dropped to 7-6. The two teams will meet again in June, where both will be looking to make statements in the heat of the summer season.
