MIAMI — The music in the Colorado Rockies clubhouse Tuesday night rivaled the nightclubs up and down South Beach.

The vibes were immaculate after Colorado posted a 3-2 win, its second victory in two nights in Miami. More important, it was a victory that secured the first series win of the season for the Rockies and snapped a streak of 22 straight series without a win, a dubious Major League Baseball record the Rockies were eager to cast into Biscayne Bay.

While there were no champagne or cigars to celebrate the victory amid an 11-50 record, there was a definite sense a monkey the size of south Florida had been lifted off the franchise’s back by capturing the series.

There was also a sense that perhaps things are starting to turn a bit for the Rockies.

“This establishes that we are trending forward I would say; trending in the right direction and things are moving the way we want them to move,” said outfielder Jordan Beck, who was 2-for-5 with an RBI and stolen base. “We haven’t won a series before so we’re doing something better than we’ve done before.”

Progress.

Colorado didn’t just snap a historic streak. The Rockies did it in a place that has been anything but kind to them through the years as the Rockies are now 13-29 at loanDepot park since it opened in 2012.

Then again, anywhere on the road hasn’t been favorable for Colorado this season. The Rockies entered Tuesday with a 4-28 record away from Coors Field, the worst start on the road in franchise history. That record also established a new mark for futility as no other MLB team since 1901 lost 28 of its first 32 road games.

“That’s big time for the boys to get that first series win,” interim manager Warren Schaeffer said. “Who would’ve known it wouldn’t come until June, but the time is now and I’m happy for them.”

The recipe for winning their first series of 2025 came thanks to a mixture of Hunter Goodman’s continued power at the plate and a bullpen that has truly evolved into a weapon.

Goodman, playing every bit like a potential All-Star, hit his third homer in two games, lifting an eighth-inning solo shot for what would be the difference in the contest. Goodman added a double, giving him 105 total bases and 35 RBI, both of which lead MLB catchers.

“This series, he’s looked wonderful, obviously, with three homers in two days,” Schaeffer said. “But that’s Hunter Goodman. That doesn’t surprise me.”

Schaeffer added that his bullpen’s success on Tuesday didn’t surprise him, either. Four Rockies relievers combined to throw six scoreless innings to zip up the win, lowering the unit’s collective earned run average to 2.11 since May 20.

“It’s insane the run we’ve been on,” said reliever Jimmy Herget, who worked 1 2/3 innings. “I think it’s really solid. It’s good that ‘Schaeff’ trusts every one of us.”

Nothing this season comes easy for the Rockies, and it included the final out of game.

Pinch-hitter Heriberto Hernandez sent a 1-1 pitch from Seth Halvorsen 402 feet to left-center before Colorado’s Brenton Doyle made a leaping catch at the wall to secure the win and let the Rockies breathe a sigh of relief.

“When it came off the bat, no,” Beck said when asked if he thought the ball was going to be caught. “But in this ballpark, you have to hit it. It plays big. I saw ‘BD’ (Doyle) running and I was like, ‘Uh oh, this might get close.’ It was getting close to the wall before I knew he was going to catch it.”

With the ball securely in Doyle’s glove, Colorado can aim for its first series sweep since taking three games from the San Diego Padres on May 13-15, 2024.

“Being able to come in here and win two in a row is good,” Goodman said. “I think we take that momentum going forward.”
