Hunter Goodman Crushed Three Homers, And That's The Kind Of Bat We Need In The Emerald City

Alright, fam, you gotta hear this. While our guys are out there grinding, some dude named Hunter Goodman just absolutely went OFF for the Colorado Rockies last night against the Minnesota Twins. I'm talking three dingers, five RBIs, the whole nine yards. Seriously, what a performance! It makes you think about what kind of firepower we want to see from our own lineup, you know?

Goodman's Monster Night: A Solo Show

This guy, Goodman, was just locked in. He led off the game with a solo shot in the first inning. Then, he came back in the third and smacked another one off starter Mike Paredes. After a quick groundout in the fifth, he wasn't done. Oh no. In the seventh, he connected for his 25th homer of the season, a three-run blast to left-center against reliever Kody Funderburk, making it 6-2. That's a serious power display, right? Like, can you imagine if one of our guys, Julio Rodriguez or Cal Raleigh, just had a night like that? The T-Mobile Park crowd would be absolutely losing it!

Rockies Grinders and Twins' Fight Back

Goodman wasn't the only one doing damage. Kyle Karros added a two-run homer in the eighth, just piling it on. Michael Lorenzen, who got the start for Colorado, earned his first win since way back on April 24, giving up just two runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. The Rockies got on the board early w

ith Jake McCarthy hitting a one-out triple in the fifth and scoring on Mickey Moniak's groundout to grab a 3-1 lead. The Twins tried to claw their way back, scoring single runs in the first and sixth. Kody Clemens had an RBI single in the first to tie it 1-all, and Josh Bell, with his first triple since April 5, 2025, scored on Victor Caratini’s sacrifice fly in the sixth to cut the lead to 3-2. But it wasn't enough. Trevor Larnach's three-run double in the ninth made it 8-5, but then Jimmy Herget came in and shut the door, getting two outs for his third save. Poor Mike Paredes took the loss, giving up three runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. It was a wild one, ending 8-5 for the Rockies.

What's Next for the Rockies (and Us)?

So, while that was all going down, our Mariners were in their own battle. Just heard the final score from our game against the Guardians: not the outcome we wanted, 4-3, Guardians took it. Tough loss, but hey, that's baseball. The Rockies are back at it today, Sunday, to finish their series. Ryan Feltner (2-2, 4.79 ERA) is on the mound for them, facing off against Connor Prielipp (2-5, 5.17 ERA). What does this all mean for us, the 12s? It means every team in the league is out there battling, and we're watching, learning, and cheering on our guys. Every single game counts, and we're looking for that spark, that dominant performance like Goodman's, to ignite our season. Let's go, Mariners! Keep fighting!
