Jake McCarthy hits 3-run triple in 9th inning as Rockies rally for 3-2 win over Red Sox

Jake McCarthy’s three-run triple in the ninth inning led the Colorado Rockies to a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. The Rockies began the inning with three singles against Boston’s closer Aroldis Chapman, setting the stage for McCarthy’s decisive hit. This comeback overshadowed earlier baserunning mistakes by Colorado in the eighth inning. The Rockies made history by achieving eight consecutive hits in their final eight plate appearances, a first since the expansion era began in 1961. This marked their third walk-off win in nine innings when entering the ninth without a run. Red Sox rookie Jake Bennett had a strong performance, striking out nine over six innings. Colorado’s Ryan Feltner also pitched well, and Victor Vodnik secured the win with two scoreless innings. The Red Sox will start Sonny Gray in the next game, while the Rockies will counter with Sean Sullivan.
