Rockies End Losing Streak with Dramatic 9th-Inning Comeback Against Giants
June 13, 2025
The Colorado Rockies snapped a five-game losing streak with an 8-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants on June 12, 2025, thanks to Orlando Arcia's two-run single in the bottom of the ninth.
This win improved the Rockies' record to 13-55, tying them with the 1932 Boston Red Sox for the worst start in modern MLB history.
Under interim manager Warren Schaeffer, the Rockies have shown some improvement, going 4-5 in their last nine games after a dismal 9-50 start.
Ryan McMahon emphasized the importance of focusing on daily performance, stating they need to take it 'pitch by pitch, day by day' despite their poor overall record.
Arcia, who joined the Rockies after being released by Atlanta, is committed to helping the team win and is focused on their future rather than past struggles.
The Rockies were down 7-5 before a series of key plays, including a walk by Sam Hilliard and a double by Thairo Estrada, set the stage for their dramatic comeback.
A pivotal moment in the game occurred when Giants' Casey Schmitt failed to execute a double play, allowing the Rockies to keep the inning alive.
Dominic Smith was a standout for the Giants, contributing three hits including a three-run homer that initially gave them a 7-2 lead.
While Giants' starter Hayden Birdsong allowed three runs in six innings, Rockies' starter Antonio Senzatela struggled, giving up seven runs in just over four innings.
In contrast to the Rockies, the Giants hold a record of 40-28, placing them second in their division and just half a game behind the leaders.
The Rockies are aware of their historical struggles, but they are determined to improve and avoid repeating the fate of the 1932 Red Sox, who finished with only 68 wins.
Despite their victory, the Rockies still hold a franchise-worst home record of 7-27 this season at Coors Field, highlighting the challenges they face.
