The Coors Field faithful finally have a home series victory to celebrate. In a much-needed display of offensive firepower, the Colorado Rockies defeated the Minnesota Twins 10-6 on Sunday, securing their first series win in LoDo this season and providing a welcome jolt of energy for a team and its fans.
Hunter Goodman is now batting .282 with 18 home runs and 55 RBIs on the year, leading the team in both categories.
The bats were alive from the get-go, as the Rockies piled up 15 hits against Twins pitching. The charge was led by catcher Hunter Goodman, who continued his breakout season with a stellar 3-for-5 day, driving in three runs. His two-run blast in the eighth inning was the nail in the coffin, providing crucial insurance runs. He wasn't alone in the effort; Ezequiel Tovar and Nolan Jones also chipped in with multi-hit games, contributing to a three-run rally in the fifth that broke the game open and put the Rockies ahead for good.
While the offense grabbed the headlines, Antonio Senzatela delivered the kind of steady performance the Rockies desperately needed from their rotation. The veteran right-hander battled through six innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out four. It was a true quality start that kept the Twins' bats at bay and allowed the Rockies' offense to find its rhythm. Though his 4-13 record doesn't tell the whole story, this win was well-earned and a testament to his perseverance on the mound.
The good news wasn't just confined to the major league club this week. A recent Bleacher Report update saw the Rockies' farm system climb to No. 19 in the league rankings, a significant jump fueled by an impressive 2025 draft class. The system is now headlined by No. 4 overall pick Ethan Holliday, who immediately slots in as the team's top prospect and the No. 17 prospect in all of baseball. With names like Charlie Condon and Robert Calaz also making waves, the win on the field feels connected to a brighter, more promising future being built in the minors.
One series win doesn't erase the struggles of 2025, but it's a massive morale boost and a sign of what this team can be. With young hitters like Goodman producing now and top-tier talent like Ethan Holliday on the way, there's a tangible sense of hope building. The key now is to bottle this energy and carry it forward, proving that this weekend at Coors wasn't a fluke, but the start of a new chapter.
