Seven Heaven: Rockies Tie Franchise Home Run Record in D.C. Slugfest

• The Colorado Rockies tied their franchise record with seven home runs in a single game.
• Six different Rockies players hit home runs: Michael Toglia (2), Hunter Goodman, Ryan McMahon, Thairo Estrada, Sam Hilliard, and Mickey Moniak.
• Michael Toglia recorded his second career multi-homer game.
• The Rockies set a new franchise record for home runs in a two-game span with ten.
• The final score was Rockies 10, Nationals 6, marking Colorado's third straight win.

For one night, Nationals Park felt like Coors Field. The Colorado Rockies unleashed an offensive onslaught on Wednesday, tying the franchise record with a staggering seven home runs in a 10-6 rout of the Washington Nationals. It was a spectacular power display that saw six different players go deep, securing a third straight win for a team desperately in need of momentum.

The Rockies' 10 home runs over their last two games mark a new franchise record for any two-game span, and the most in any two-game span on the road.

Power Surge in the Capital

The home run parade was a sight to behold. Michael Toglia kicked things off and later added a second, but he had plenty of company. Ryan McMahon, Thairo Estrada, Sam Hilliard, and Mickey Moniak all left the yard. The decisive blow came in a six-run seventh inning, punctuated by a massive three-run homer from Hunter Goodman that broke the game wide open. This offensive explosion wasn't just a one-night wonder; it set a new franchise benchmark for homers in a two-game span with ten, proving the thin mountain air isn't the only thing that can make baseballs fly.

Toglia's Terrific Night

Leading the charge was first baseman Michael Toglia, who recorded his second career multi-homer game. Reminiscent of his three-homer performance against the Mets back in 2024, Toglia looked locked in at the plate. His power from the left side is a game-changer when he's on, and his two solo shots were crucial in setting the tone and keeping the pressure on the Nationals' pitching staff all night long.

Senza's Steady Hand

While the bats grabbed the headlines, Antonio Senzatela quietly delivered the exact start the Rockies needed. Over five solid innings, 'Senza' allowed just one unearned run on three hits, navigating traffic and earning a much-deserved second win of the season. In a year where his record (now 2-10) doesn't reflect his effort, it was great to see the offense provide overwhelming support to get him in the win column.

With a third straight victory and a new franchise record in their back pocket, the Rockies are suddenly playing with confidence. They'll have a chance to do something they've only done once this season: win a road series. Germán Márquez (2-8, 6.62 ERA) gets the ball tomorrow against Washington's Mitchell Parker, with hopes of keeping the good times—and the long balls—rolling.
