No late-night drama, no gnashing of teeth, no woe is me. Just a solid win for the Rockies on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field.<\/p>\n
The Rockies rode rookie first baseman TJ Rumfield\u2019s two-run home run in the fourth inning to beat the Cubs 5-2 and snap a 10-game losing streak at Wrigley Field.<\/p>\n
Colorado\u2019s bullpen, which suffered a nightmarish meltdown in a 5-4 loss to the Cubs on Monday night, delivered 4 1\/3 scoreless innings, and Jaden Hill pitched a perfect ninth to record his first career save.<\/p>\n
Key moments: The fourth inning was huge. Trailing 2-0, Colorado got a leadoff single from Jake McCarthy, an RBI double from Willi Castro, and Rumfield\u2019s homer to take a lead it didn\u2019t relinquish.<\/p>\n
Who\u2019s hot: Outfielder Jake McCarthy, finally healthy after a stomach illness, hit 3 for 4 and scored a run in the fourth. He\u2019s hitting .291 with a .784 OPS.<\/p>\n
Starter Ryan Feltner rebounded from a poor start in his last game and a rocky start on Tuesday night to put Colorado in a position to win. The right-hander gave up two runs on six hits, with three walks and seven strikeouts over 4 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
In Colorado\u2019s 9-3 loss to the Cubs at Coors Field last week, he gave up six runs on four hits across 4 1\/3 innings. Tuesday night, Feltner served up a leadoff homer to sizzling-hot Pete Crow-Armstrong and gave up another run in the second before settling in.<\/p>\n
Rookie center fielder Cole Carrigg made a terrific catch in center field in the eighth, going into the ivy to rob Michael Busch of extra bases.<\/p>\n
Who\u2019s not: Carrigg, at the plate. He went 0 for 3 with three strikeouts, though he did draw a walk and steal second base in the eighth.<\/p>\n
Shortstop Ezequiel Tovar continues to play excellent defense, but his struggles at the plate continue. He went 0 for 3 with a K, though he did draw a walk and score a run in the fifth. Tovar has struck out at least once in 16 straight games, the second-longest streak of his career. He fanned in 18 consecutive games from Aug. 8-29, 2024.<\/p>\n
Worth noting: Outfielder Mickey Moniak is on the road back from injury. He\u2019s been on the 10-day injured list since May 22 with right ankle tendinitis, but he\u2019s making progress. He\u2019s scheduled for Triple-A Albuquerque rehab games on Thursday through Saturday. He\u2019ll return to Denver on June 21 to be evaluated by the medical staff, manager Warren Schaeffer told reporters in Chicago.<\/p>\n
