The Colorado Rockies showcased a rare highlight with a triple play against the Oakland Athletics, but ultimately succumbed to a 7-4 defeat at Coors Field. This marked their sixth consecutive loss, tying for the worst start in franchise history at 1-7. The game began well for the Rockies, with Ryan McMahon, German Marquez, and Michael Toglia celebrating the triple play in the second inning, a feat not seen since 2015. However, Marquez struggled through the game, walking six batters and allowing four runs, leading to a disappointing loss.

In the later innings, the Athletics capitalized on Marquez's struggles, taking the lead thanks to a two-run double from Jacob Wilson and an impressive long ball outing that included a 429-foot blast from Shea Langeliers. Despite a rally attempt in the eighth with a home run from McMahon, the Rockies couldn’t capitalize further, leaving them searching for answers as they face the potential of another series sweep on Sunday.
