Overview

  • Ezequiel Tovar’s two-out, three-run homer in the fifth inning powered a 10-6 win that secured the series clincher over the Twins on Saturday night.
  • Antonio Senzatela delivered seven innings of three-run ball—his longest outing of the season—to earn the victory.
  • Activated from the injured list, Zebby Matthews struggled in his return start, allowing five runs over four-plus innings in the loss.
  • The victories snapped a 17-series winless skid at home dating to May 2024 and marked the Rockies’ first pair of consecutive home wins this season.
  • Despite the milestone, Colorado’s 12-36 home record remains the worst in the majors and underscores their risk of setting a modern-era single-season loss mark.
