The Colorado Rockies outlasted the Minnesota Twins in a 6-4 slugfest Friday night at Coors Field, riding a balanced offensive attack that proved too much for Twins starter Chris Paddack. The Rockies' bats came alive early, with Jordan Beck leading the charge—his 3-for-5 night included a home run and two RBIs, while Ryan McMahon delivered a clutch two-run homer that extended Colorado's lead in the middle innings. Tyler Freeman and Mickey Moniak each contributed multi-hit performances, combining for three RBIs as the Rockies capitalized on Paddack's struggles, chasing him after five innings and eight hits.

Minnesota fought back behind Byron Buxton's explosive night—a 3-for-5 performance with a homer and three RBIs—but the Twins' bullpen couldn't contain Colorado's momentum. Kyle Freeland steadied the Rockies with six solid innings, allowing just one run despite five hits, while Jake Bird survived a shaky seventh to preserve the lead. The win snaps a three-game skid for Colorado, while the Twins, despite Buxton's heroics, drop another tight contest on the road.
