In a tightly contested game, pitchers Grant Holmes and Austin Gomber exhibited formidable skills in a duel over six innings, leading to a dull yet impressive performance. Gomber, with two hits and one walk allowed, stifled the Braves’ lineup. The Rockies initially took the lead without a hit, benefiting from an error by Holmes. However, the Braves finally made their mark with a scoring rally against reliever Jake Bird, tallying four consecutive singles before the game devolved into a Rockies blowout, ending 10-1 over Atlanta.
The first six innings of this game were about as dull as you could imagine a baseball game could be. With that being said, that's actually a compliment to how locked in that both Grant Holmes and Austin Gomber were in this one.
Gomber pitched five innings where he only gave up two hits and one walk while he was out there. Plain and simple, the Braves didn't have a lot of anything going on while Gomber was on the mound and not much changed after he left the mound either.
The Rockies spent the initial portion of this game ahead and they were able to get that run without even recording a hit. Ryan Ritter made it on base with one out in the third inning after Holmes pulled off the rare "feat" of committing two errors on one play.
Atlanta responded to being released from Gomber's cage by smacking four straight singles - folks, that equals at least one run no matter when or how that happens and that was the case here for the Braves.
