Rockies End 8-Game Losing Streak, Beat Braves 2-1

The Colorado Rockies snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves, highlighted by Brenton Doyle's tiebreaking home run off Chris Sale. Before this win, the Rockies had lost 16 of their previous 17 games and were at risk of joining historic records for worst season starts. Rookie pitcher Chase Dollander contributed by allowing just one run over nearly six innings, while Zach Agnos secured his first major league save. Earlier in the series, the Braves had continued their strong run by winning the first two games, including an 8-2 victory with key performances from Matt Olson and Michael Harris II, and a 6-3 win led by Bryce Elder’s solid pitching and timely hitting from Nick Allen and Harris. Atlanta's victories had extended the Rockies' losing streak and reinforced the Braves' dominance in recent matchups. The series showcased Colorado’s ongoing struggles but also their resilience in avoiding a historically poor start.
