Defense a key to success for Rockies against Rays

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, the Colorado Rockies defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 in a game played at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
The Rockies and Rays played a three-game series hosted by Tampa Bay, where the Rockies' bullpen played a key role in the first two games, after the Rockies lost to the Rays 3-2 on Friday.
Colorado's defense shined on Saturday, including a sliding catch by two-time Gold Glove center fielder Brenton Doyle to deny Yandy Diaz of extra bases in the fifth inning and a play by first baseman Michael Toglia in the eighth inning to keep a slim lead, in addition to throwing out a runner at the plate in the first.
According to Brenton Doyle, Michael Toglia is a Gold Glove first baseman, and Ezequiel Tovar proved that he's a Gold Glove shortstop, while Taylor Walls acknowledged the impressive collective defensive effort of the Rockies team.
Looking ahead to the series finale on Sunday afternoon, right-handed pitcher Ryan Feltner, who is 28 years old and faced the Rays once before, will oppose right-hander Taj Bradley, hoping to provide the bullpen with a breather and for the strong defense to continue.
