The work done by the Rockies pitchers while in peril was admirable, but how they got there was the problem and they couldn’t escape enough times to scratch out a victory.
Chicago couldn’t find a knockout punch Saturday night, but Kyle Tucker’s run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning was the difference in a 4-3 win for the Cubs in front of a sellout crowd of 47,394 at Coors Field.
The Cubs have now won all five games against the Rockies in 2025, and will go for the season sweep Sunday afternoon. Chicago collected 16 baserunners — nine hits, five walks and two hit batsmen — and loaded the bases four times.
