The Colorado Rockies defeated the Athletics 23-9 on a blistering 101-degree afternoon at the Las Vegas Ballpark. The offensive explosion set a new all-time franchise record for the Rockies, surpassing their previous mark of 20 runs.
Willi Castro drove the offensive surge with seven RBIs, finishing the afternoon with four hits that included an eighth-inning grand slam. Hunter Goodman added to the historic scoring pace by recording a career-high five hits and driving in four runs. Both Castro and Goodman hit two home runs each during the rout.
Colorado hit six home runs in total, with Troy Johnston and TJ Rumfield also clearing the fences. The team racked up 24 hits overall, finishing just one hit shy of the club’s all-time franchise record set against Houston in September 2011.
The Athletics were wrapping up a special six-game series at the Triple-A facility to build momentum ahead of their planned relocation to a permanent enclosed stadium on the Strip in 2028. Despite the brutal loss, which marked the most runs surrendered by the franchise in a single game since 1955, the Athletics finished their Las Vegas homestand with a successful 4-2 record.
