Troy Johnston then grounded a single up the middle that deflected off second baseman Marcus Semien, scoring Goodman and Rumfield to give the Rockies a 3-1 lead. Kyle Karros followed with another single, but reliever Sean Manaea struck out Ezequiel Tovar and Jordan Beck to limit the damage.

But Mark Vientos lined into an unassisted double play, with second baseman Tyler Freeman catching the line drive and stepping on second to double off Tommy Pham, ending the threat.
