Hunter Goodman and the bullpen banded together to finally get the Rockies to double-digit wins.
Goodman blasted two homers and four Colorado relievers combined for four scoreless innings to snap an eight-game slide by beating the Marlins 6-4 on Monday at a nearly empty loanDepot Park in Miami. The win improved Colorado to 10-50 amid the worst 60-game start in MLB’s modern era (since 1901).
It marked Goodman’s third career two-homer game and first this season, as the Rockies notched their fourth road win in 32 tries. The victory puts Colorado in position to win its first series in 2025 with a victory on Tuesday or Wednesday after losing the first 19 series to begin the season.
The Rockies struck first via Thairo Estrada’s RBI double in the first off Marlins right-hander Max Meyer. But German Marquez gave the lead away quick in the bottom of the inning when the Marlins scored three runs on two hits and an error.
Jesús Sánchez added on for Miami in the second with an RBI double to make it 4-1, but Marquez settled in from there while the Rockies’ offense woke up and turned the tables.
Goodman homered 401 feet to center field in the third, then Tyler Freeman’s RBI single scored Brenton Doyle to make it 4-3 in the fourth. In the fifth, Goodman went deep to center off Meyer again — a 418-foot, two-run shot that swung the game to a 5-4 Rockies advantage.
After Marquez got out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth and then negated a leadoff double in the fifth with no damage, the Rockies bullpen shut down the Marlins from there.
Jake Bird, Tyler Kinley and Seth Halvorsen each tossed a scoreless inning. Then Zach Agnos continued his strong rookie season by notching the save in the ninth after Colorado added an insurance run in the top of the inning via Sam Hilliard’s RBI double. The bullpen quartet only gave up two total hits, with no walks.
Of note in the rare victory, shortstop Ezequiel Tovar left the game in the eighth inning. Orlando Arcia moved from third to shortstop to replace him, and Ryan McMahon came in at third.
