Rockies Outlast Marlins in Series Opener Despite Offensive Struggles

Colorado emerged victorious in the first game of the series, largely due to the Marlins' struggle to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Miami's 3 for 16 record with runners in scoring position proved to be insufficient against the Rockies, who have faced challenges in generating offensive momentum. Despite a rough start to the season, Quantrill has shown improvement in his recent performances, significantly lowering his ERA over his last five starts. On the other hand, Freeland remains winless this season, underscoring the Rockies' inconsistency at the plate. Given Quantrill's recent success, the Marlins are favored to secure a victory in this upcoming game.
