Rockies End Losing Streak with Dramatic 9th-Inning Comeback Against Giants
  • 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.
