Opening Day saw the Colorado Rockies give up five runs in the ninth inning and win on a walk-off grand slam. They were not as lucky when the same thing happened in the eighth on Saturday night, falling 8-6 to the Tampa Bay Rays after being up 6-1 entering the inning. It was their first time losing when leading by five-plus runs entering the seventh since May 16, 2021 against the Cincinnati Reds. Also of note, the Rockies have not scored first in 15-straight games dating back to the first game of their doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 26, 2023.
