Reds Edge Rockies 8-7 in Rain-soaked Game

The Cincinnati Reds edged out the Colorado Rockies 8-7 in a closely contested game marked by frequent lead changes and sloppy defense from Colorado. Spencer Steer hit a two-run homer and Noelvi Marte contributed three hits and two RBIs, while the Reds capitalized on key errors and walks from the Rockies bullpen. Jordan Beck provided offensive firepower for Colorado with two home runs, his second consecutive multi-homer game, but the Rockies struggled to convert scoring opportunities, going 4-for-13 with runners in scoring position and leaving seven men on base. Starting pitching remained a concern for Colorado as Kyle Freeland allowed six runs in just over four innings, continuing a troubling trend for the Rockies' rotation. The Rockies' poor start to the season now stands at 4-21, one of the worst in MLB history through 25 games. Despite the loss, Colorado's offense showed signs of life, but the team was unable to rally in the ninth inning for a comeback.
