Giants jumped ahead early with Adames and Ramos going yard off Márquez, putting Colorado in a deep hole. Tovar’s clutch fifth‑inning homer sparked a temporary Rockies pulse, but Trevor McDonald kept the pressure on and shut the door. Márquez exits with a rocky line, a career Rockies strikeout mark in reach, and Colorado’s playoff odds taking another hit as Verlander looms in the next date after two more games.

Kris Bryant's tenure with the Colorado Rockies continues to spiral downward as he is now on the 10-day injured list due to lumbar degenerative disc disease. This injury is compounded by his history of back issues, leading to missed games in previous seasons. Since signing a seven-year, $182 million contract, Bryant has played only 159 games and has struggled mightily at the plate, posting a .250 batting average.

In 2025 alone, he has a dismal .154 average with no home runs in 11 games. The Rockies' struggles don’t help, as they currently sit at the bottom of the league with a 3-12 record. Catcher Braxton Fulford has been called up to fill the void left by Bryant, making his MLB debut after an impressive run in Triple-A. This troubling trend raises questions about the Rockies' future and Bryant's ability to contribute moving forward.
