On Saturday night, Cole Carrigg hit a go-ahead two-run single in the seventh inning that helped the Colorado Rockies beat the Seattle Mariners 5-3 in Denver. This victory put the Mariners on the brink of elimination from playoff contention, as they now sit at 72-83, seven games behind the Chicago White Sox for the last American League wild card spot with only seven games left to play. The Rockies, who are at 57-98, need to win at least six of their remaining seven games to avoid losing 100 games in four consecutive seasons—a feat not seen since the New York Mets from 1962 to 1965.
Before the game, the Rockies unveiled a bronze statue honoring Todd Helton, celebrating his contributions to the team. The statue depicts Helton shouting to the sky after catching a relay for the last out of the 2007 NL Championship Series, marking the Rockies' sole World Series appearance that year. Earlier in the season, Larry Walker was also honored with a similar statue.
