The Colorado Rockies defeated the Minnesota Twins 8–5 on June 27 at Target Field, surpassing the Vegas total of 9.5 runs with a combined 13 runs.

Minnesota's pitching staff surrendered eight earned runs and allowed 12 hits with a 4.89 ERA, while Colorado's ERA of 5.51 reflected a less efficient outing but sufficient run support. The Rockies' .741 OPS edged Minnesota's .733 OPS in a relatively balanced offensive display, yet Colorado's power advantage—four homers versus zero for the Twins—proved the decisive factor.

The Rockies' ability to generate power in a road contest suggests offensive consistency as they continue their season.
