In their second contest with the Miami Marlins, the Colorado Rockies had hoped to even the score after dropping the series opene<\/a>r. However, a persistent Marlins offense coupled with effective pitching left the Rockies mostly empty handed with catcher Brett Sullivan pitching the final 1.2 innings.<\/p>\n

The Rockies dropped the game in a 14-3 slog, a fitting final chapter in the Marlins\u2019 remarkable June.<\/p>\n

The Marlins got off to a quick start with a Kyle Stowers triple. The next batter, Griffin Conine, hit a double to make the score 1-0 with just one out. However, Tanner Gordon managed to get two outs, giving the Marlins a 1-0 lead in the first.<\/p>\n

However, it did not take long for the Rockies to catch up when Mickey Moniak hit his 13th home run of the season.<\/p>\n

However, the Marlins would take the lead again in the second when a Cole Carrigg error (his first) allowed Javier Sanoja to get on second. After that, a Leo Jim\u00e9nez single was enough to bring Sanoja home and make the score 2-1 Marlins.<\/p>\n

In the third inning, the Marlins continued to score. This time, Sanoja hit a three-run homer to score Xavier Edwards (fielder\u2019s choice) and Owen Caissie (HBP).<\/p>\n

When the Marlins\u2019 half of the third ended, they had a 5-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Finally, in the fourth inning, the Fish failed to score.<\/p>\n

The Rockies finally got players on base in the fifth inning when Eury P\u00e9rez walked Edouard Julien and Kyle Karros with one out. However, they were unable to capitalize.<\/p>\n

Seth Halvorsen entered the game in the sixth inning and got two outs but struggled to get the third. After walking Jim\u00e9nez, five straight hitters would reach. Liam Hicks and Stowers both singled, with the latter earning the RBI in scoring Jim\u00e9nez, which made the score 6-1. Following that, Conine singled, and the Marlins grew their lead to 7-1. Keeping up with his teammates, Edwards singled, and the score ballooned to 8-1.<\/p>\n

In the sixth inning, the Rockies again had traffic on base due to Moniak and TJ Rumfield walks. It was enough for the Marlins to pull their starter.<\/p>\n

Still, the Rockies did not have an answer for P\u00e9rez, who gave the Marlins 5.1 solid innings. His final line was one run (earned) on two hits. He walked four and struck out eight on 86 pitches. P\u00e9rez has an ERA of 4.21<\/p>\n

The Rockies were no better against reliever Lake Bachar who quickly snagged the final two outs and ended the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

The seventh inning went to John Brebbia in relief of Halvorsen but fared no better, giving up a two-run, 450-foot homer to Joe Mack, his fifth. The score was 10-1.<\/p>\n

In the Rockies half of the seventh, they once again managed to get the first two batters on base via walk. This time, the Rockies scored Julien on a Jake McCarthy ground out, giving the Rockies their first run since the first inning.<\/p>\n

As the seventh inning closed out, the scare was 10-2 Marlins.<\/p>\n

That changed in the eighth when Brebbia gave up a three-run homer to Caissie. With the score 13-2, Brebbia left the game, and RHP\/catcher Brett Sullivan<\/a> entered the game.<\/p>\n

On a positive note, Rumfield extended his hitting streak to 13 games after getting a double in the eighth inning. (It was the Rockies first hit since the second inning.)<\/p>\n

Sullivan allowed an RBI double in the ninth to Stowers, and the score jumped to 14-2.<\/p>\n

The Rockies, big fans of arriving fashionably late, tacked on one more run in the ninth. Karros knocked a serious double, and Ezequiel Tovar followed with a double of his own for a final 14-3 score.<\/p>\n

The Marlins had a season high in runs and hits. Their final line was 14 runs (all earned) on 21 hits. They walked twice and struck out five times. Only Jakob Marsee failed to record a hit.<\/p>\n

As for the Rockies, three runs (earned) on five hits. They walked six times and had 12 strikeouts.<\/p>\n

\u201dYou\u2019re gonna have one of these every now and then,\u201d manager Warren Schaeffer said, adding the team would flush it and be back tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Tanner Gordon fought through it<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no other way to put it: The Marlins hit Tanner Gordon hard from the first inning. However, he still managed to give the Rockies five innings and keep the game within reach. (After all, it was not yet the seventh inning, which is when the Rockies clock in.)<\/p>\n

He left the game after finishing the fifth inning on 74 pitches. His final line was five runs (all earned) on nine hits. Gordon did not walk a batter and struck out four.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he battled,\u201d Schaeffer said, noting that he was able to help preserve the bullpen. \u201cA couple of elevated off-speed pitches hurt him.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the sixth inning, Seth Halvorsen entered the game in relief of Gordon. The inning did not go well with the Marlins scoring three runs on his watch. Halvorsen\u2019s final line was three runs (earned) on four hits in one inning of work. He walked one and did not tally a strikeout on 25 pitches. Halvorsen\u2019s ERA is 4.74.<\/p>\n

John Brebbia entered the game to pitch the seventh. It took 25 pitches for him to finish that inning, and he allowed two runs on two hits.<\/p>\n

He came back out to handle the eighth and allowed a three-run homer. His final line was 1.1 IP, allowing five runs (all earned) on five hits. He struck out one and currently has an ERA of 10.38.<\/p>\n

RHP\/catcher Brett Sullivan handled the ninth inning as well. His final line was one run (earned) on three hits. He walked one and did not notch any strikeouts in 1.2 IP.<\/p>\n

Coming into this game, Sullivan lacked 22 innings of pitching to be classified as a two-way player. That number has now decreased to 20 innings. Should this happen, only Sullivan and Shohei Ohtani would have this classification.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow night, the Marlins and Rockies will continue their series with Max Meyer facing Kyle Freeland.<\/p>\n

First pitch is at 6:40pm.<\/p>\n
