Rockies Turn Back Guardians, 4-3
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Colorado Rockies and Cleveland Guardians.

The Colorado Rockies beat the Cleveland Guardians, 4-3, in part because of right fielder Bob Bowen. He went 2-3 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Anderson Espinoza, now 6-4, was credited with the win in 1.2 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 3 and walking 1. Steve Miller got the save, the 9th for him this season.

Had Sancho Acosta not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Acosta hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Rockies.

"Bottom line," said Cleveland skipper Tristan Bugbie, "we didn't play well enough to win."

Colorado is 58-71 and Cleveland, with the loss, 61-70.
