The Rockies owned it, blew it, then walked it off on a crazy Sunday afternoon at Coors Field.
Mickey Moniak‘s ninth-inning triple drove in Ryan Ritter to lift the Rockies to a 6-5 win over the Cubs, snapping the Rockies’ four-game losing streak. Moniak drove reliever Daniel Palencia’s slider into the right-field corner. Ritter led off the ninth with a single.
One inning before, one swing of Ian Happ’s bat sent the throngs of Cubs fans at Coors into a frenzy.
With the Rockies leading 5-2, reliever Luis Peralta issued a leadoff walk to Michael Busch and Kyle Tucker followed with a single. Peralta got the dangerous Seiya to fly out to right, but then Peralta grooved a 95.5 mph first-pitch fastball that Happ hammered for a three-run homer to tie the game.
Colorado rookie right-hander Tanner Gordon pitched an outstanding game, allowing two runs on five hits over six innings. He was in line to win his fourth consecutive decision. Gordon struck out nine, a career high and the most by a Rockies pitcher since lefty Kyle Freeland struck out nine on July 10, 2024, at Cincinnati. Over his last four starts, Gordon has a 2.74 ERA.
