The Colorado Rockies pulled off a thrilling 6-4 victory against the Washington Nationals, thanks to clutch ninth-inning home runs from Hunter Goodman and Mickey Moniak. Goodman, an All-Star candidate, led off with a long ball off Kyle Finnegan, marking his 13th homer of the season, with ten of those coming away from Coors Field. Moniak followed suit with a two-run blast that secured the win, driving in Sam Hilliard, who pinch-ran for Thairo Estrada. This victory marked only the Rockies' third consecutive win this season.

Despite the triumph, the Rockies' season has been challenging, with a staggering 57 losses in their first 72 games, tying them with the 1932 Boston Red Sox for the most losses in MLB's modern era. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer praised Goodman for his significant contributions throughout the season, while rookie Carson Palmquist struggled on the mound, leaving him winless after five starts. The Rockies hope to build on this momentum as they face the Nationals again soon.
