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.

Colorado's 2025 season sinks into NL history, joining the 1962 Mets as the modern era's worst NL club by losses. A 6-2 defeat to Seattle leaves the Rockies at 116 losses with a minus-416 run differential as the Mariners clinch a playoff berth and AL West title.

Cal Raleigh's power surge frames a stark contrast to Colorado's rebuild, while Seattle's balanced attack offers a fantasy blueprint: depth, speed, and volume production. Look to Rockies youngsters like Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman for late-season exposure and potential 2026 targets as the season winds down against the Giants and Dodgers.

Seattle rode a balanced attack to a 6-1 win over Colorado, with Eugenio Suárez delivering a two-run shot early as Bradley Blalock labored through 3 2/3 innings. Emerson Hancock piled up a career-high seven strikeouts in four frames, and the bullpen steadied the struggling Rockies.

Colorado mustered two late runs but went 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position. Zach Agnos returned to the mound, and questions loom for 2026 as Germán Márquez and company prepare for a final series in San Francisco.
