US EditionMcMahon and Beck Homers Send MLB-Worst Rockies to a 6-4 Win over the Twins
DENVER COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 19 – Jordan Beck recorded three hits including a homer and triple, nearly completing a rare cycle as the Rockies improved to 23-74 in a season marked by historic struggles.
- On Friday at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies opened the second half with a 6-4 win, and the victory improved their record to 23-74.
- Amid a pace for MLB's worst season, Tyler Freeman, Hunter Goodman, and Jordan Beck have provided fans with reasons to celebrate, and Goodman leads NL catchers in homers, RBIs, and hits.
- Advanced data reveal Beck's barrel percentage and exit velocity have risen, placing him in MLB's top 10% for hard-hit rate, and his pull rate has surged to 44.5% with a 21.6% pulled air rate versus last year's 34% and 14.2%.
- All-Star honors went to Goodman in Atlanta, and over three games in Kansas City, Jordan Beck hit five home runs to solidify his role.
- With Beck's athleticism, power, and upside offering potential, Colorado must win 19 of its final 65 games to avoid matching the White Sox's modern-era record of 121 losses.
