The Colorado Rockies edged the Boston Red Sox 3–2 on June 22 at Coors Field in a low-scoring affair that fell well short of Vegas's 11.5 total. Colorado's offense generated 12 hits and 3 RBI despite striking out 9 times, while Boston managed just 5 hits and 2 RBI with a more disciplined approach that included 6 walks. The Red Sox pitching staff was the game's bright spot, striking out 9 batters with a 3.85 ERA, but Boston's anemic offensive output—posting a .690 OPS—proved insufficient despite holding Colorado to zero home runs. The Rockies' pitching was vulnerable, allowing 5 hits and issuing 6 walks while posting a 5.48 ERA, yet still prevailed through timely hitting that capitalized on Boston's offensive struggles. Neither team committed errors, keeping the contest clean defensively. Boston's inability to convert baserunners into runs, despite drawing six walks, underscores a deeper offensive malaise that will require immediate correction as the team navigates the division race.
