Colorado was a win on Thursday away from winning their first season series against the Houston Astros since 2012. Alas, the Rockies could overcome an early three-run deficit and score enough to prevent another Kyle Freeland loss. Why was a home run by Yanquiel Fernández so special? And which Denver-area pitcher earned the win against Colorado?

Hunter Goodman and Brenton Doyle have been a one-two punch lighting up leaderboards in the second half for Colorado. Has Goody actually been on a 51-homer pace over the past three months? Who will Doyle join in Rockies history should he reach 20-20 again?

Plus, Chase Dollander posts another impressive performance, the many Colorado brothers from the 2025 roster and the Cubs contemplate avoiding their best pitcher against the Rockies.
