Title: Ezequiel Tovar’s 3-Run Homer Secures Victory for Rockies Against Twins
Ezequiel Tovar’s impressive three-run homer, combined with a stellar performance from pitcher Cal Quantrill, led the Colorado Rockies to a hard-fought 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
Quantrill, who has been in excellent form lately with just one game allowing more than two runs in his last eight starts, delivered six scoreless innings against the Twins. He only allowed three hits, walked one batter, and struck out five, showcasing his dominance on the mound. The 29-year-old right-hander has maintained an impressive 1.92 ERA since May, giving the Rockies a strong presence in their rotation.
The Rockies struggled against Twins starter Louie Varland, managing only one hit in the first five innings. However, a pivotal moment came in the sixth inning when Charlie Blackmon and Brenton Doyle reached base before Tovar smashed a home run over the left field wall, marking his 11th homer of the season and securing the lead for Colorado.
Despite a late two-run homer from Minnesota’s Carlos Santana in the ninth inning, relief pitcher Tyler Kinley closed out the game, earning his fifth save of the season. Byron Buxton also contributed with a two-run homer for the Twins in the seventh inning.
