Rockies Chase Sweeps After Wild Win

The Colorado Rockies are poised to sweep a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, aiming for their seventh series win this season — a feat they haven’t accomplished since 2023. After a wild Saturday night game that ended in chaos and a thrilling 2-1 victory, the Rockies are riding a wave of momentum, winning four of their last seven series since late May. Though they’ve struggled to close out sweeps in recent attempts, a sweep today would mark their eleventh series win in the first half — a milestone last seen in 2023. Saturday’s game featured jaw-dropping moments, including Jake McCarthy’s historic inside-the-park leadoff homer — just the 20th in Rockies history and the first since 2019 — making him the second Rockies player to hit such a shot from the leadoff spot. McCarthy’s nine-game hitting streak ties his career high, injecting much-needed energy into the team’s push.
