The Colorado Rockies suffered a 7-1 defeat against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Connor Norby, acquired at the Trade Deadline, registered his first hit as a Rockie, a double, after a challenging debut. He also showcased his defensive skills with a slick pickup.
Longtime nemesis Logan Webb delivered another strong performance against the Rockies, limiting them to a single run before exiting due to back and shoulder tightness. Michael Lorenzen struggled for Colorado, laboring through the initial innings and marking his eighth consecutive start with a high first-inning pitch count.
The Giants broke the game open in the fourth inning with a six-run outburst, powered by a two-run single from Drew Gilbert and an RBI double from Rafael Devers, ending the Rockies' three-game winning streak. The Rockies now look to Sunday's finale to finish their road trip with a winning record and secure a season-series victory over San Francisco.
