The Rockies entered Friday night 21-72. Seventy-two losses, and the Reds couldn't beat them in a 3-2 loss Friday night. Colorado started German Marquez Friday night, who entered with a record of 3-10. The Reds scored just one run off him.

The Rockies had multiple heroes and they needed every one of them in their 3-2 win over the Reds on Friday night at Great American Ball Park.

Hunter Goodman scored the tiebreaking run on a wild pitch in the eighth inning, and the visiting Colorado Rockies edged the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.

Santiago Espinal led off the ninth inning with a double to left field. After a TJ Friedl was retired and Matt McLain struck out, the Rockies intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz for the third time of the night, and Austin Hays struck out to end the game.

The best start of the four Chase Burns has logged so far for the Cincinnati Reds wasn't enough to spur the team a win.

Germán Márquez had another strong outing and Ryan McMahon hit his 13th home run of the season as the Colorado Rockies edged the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2 in the opener of a three-game series on Friday night.

"There's so much less certainty of the grouping near the top," said Reds director of amateur scouting, Joe Katuska said.

As the Cincinnati Reds try to claw back into the playoffs, and with the Cleveland Guardians' tumble, they should consider trading for their All-Star outfielder.
