Overview

• The Colorado Rockies ended a 16-loss-in-17-games stretch with a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves at Coors Field.
• Rookie pitcher Chase Dollander delivered 5 2/3 innings of two-hit, one-run ball, earning his second career victory despite a cracked fingernail.
• Brenton Doyle’s solo home run in the third inning off Chris Sale proved to be the decisive play, ending Doyle’s 0-for-20 slump.
• Relievers Jake Bird, Seth Halvorsen, and Zach Agnos combined for a three-hitter, with Agnos earning his first major league save.
• The Rockies, now 5-25, avoided tying the 1988 Orioles for the worst 30-game start in MLB history, though rotation stability remains a concern.
