Manny Machado etched his name in the history books as he reached a career milestone of 2,000 hits during the San Diego Padres' matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Achieving this historic feat with an infield single in the fourth inning, Machado became the 295th player to hit this mark in MLB history, needing just 1,825 games to reach it.

This season has been a remarkable one for Machado, who also celebrated his 350th career home run last month and scored his 1,000th run in April. His blend of offensive prowess and defensive skill has earned him seven All-Star selections and numerous accolades, solidifying his status as one of the premier third basemen in the league.

In a thrilling conclusion at Coors Field, the Houston Astros fell narrowly to the Colorado Rockies, losing 7-6 despite rallying late in the game. With baseball's highest ERA, Rockies pitcher Seth Halvorsen faced a tough challenge as the Astros mounted a comeback in the ninth inning. Jake Meyers led off with a triple followed by Jose Altuve's groundout, trimming the deficit. However, the Rockies' defense held strong, with Halvorsen securing a flyout from Cooper Hummel to end the threat. This marked the Astros' fifth loss in their last 21 games but they still captured the series win.

The Colorado Rockies faced a tough loss against the Washington Nationals, with Seth Halvorsen giving up a game-winning walk-off homer to rookie James Wood. This was a critical moment, ending the Nationals' 11-game losing streak and halting the Rockies' four-game winning streak. Rockies' interim manager Warren Schaeffer admitted he should have walked Wood instead of letting Halvorsen pitch to him. The Rockies managed to go 4-3 on their recent road trip, a positive note amidst a dismal season that sees them tied for one of the worst starts in MLB history. Chase Dollander, the starting pitcher, performed well but continues to struggle with home runs, raising concerns for the Rockies as they head into a series against the Diamondbacks.

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.
