The Colorado Rockies will look to turn their first home series win of 2025 into a three-game series sweep on Sunday when they host the Minnesota Twins in Denver.
Minnesota Twins star third baseman Royce Lewis recently got candid about his recent struggles to hit the ball.
After grabbing an early three-run lead Saturday, the Twins’ offense went to sleep, and the Colorado Rockies roared to life. Home runs by Ryan McMahon, Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman powered the Rockies, who clinched only their third series victory of the season in 32 tries with a 10-6 win over the Twins in front of 42,131 at Coors Field.
Byron Buxton flashed his Gold Glove-caliber defense with a wild catch in the Twins' matchup against the Rockies Saturday.
He went seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and just one walk. He allowed just two hits after the second inning, induced two crucial double plays, and threw 78 pitches. It was the fourth time a Rockies starter has gone seven innings this season and the first since Germán Márquez on May 22.
The Rockies talked a good game before hosting the Twins Friday night at Coors Field. Phrases like “fresh start” and “new beginning” were bandied about.
