The Yankees beat the Rockies 10-3 at Yankee Stadium, breaking the game open with a six-run seventh inning after Max Fried held a shorthanded Colorado lineup in check. Colorado's rotation, already down three starters to injury, had no answer, and the loss extended a three-game skid that included dropping the first two games of this series.

Colorado Rockies
  • Feltner still racks up strikeouts despite a rough season
  • Lineup capable of 10-run outbursts against similar arms
  • Lost 3 straight, dropped first two of this series
  • Rotation down to three starters — Quintana, Freeland, Dollander all out
  • Feltner carries a 5.91 ERA into a tough park
New York Yankees
  • Fried's 2.73 ERA has anchored the rotation all year
  • Won 2 straight, already took the first two of this set
  • Chasing Tampa Bay with a shrinking playoff magic number
  • Lost Jazz Chisholm Jr. to IL with a thumb sprain
  • Bullpen still missing Weathers and Cruz
  • Lineup capable of going cold even at home

Max Fried took a 2.73 ERA into Thursday's 7:05 PM ET series finale against a Colorado rotation that's been gutted all summer, and Ryan Feltner — working with a 5.94 ERA — was the best healthy option the Rockies had left with Kyle Freeland and Jose Quintana both working through rehab assignments in Double-A.

New York went into the game without Jazz Chisholm Jr., placed on the 10-day injured list with a thumb sprain, and still without Ryan Weathers and Fernando Cruz out of the bullpen. None of it slowed anything down against a Colorado lineup that had already dropped the first two games of this set, and sharp money on the board leaned hardest toward the Yankees before first pitch.

New York scored in each of the first two innings, then blew the game open with a six-run seventh that turned a tight game into a laugher, closing out a 10-3 final at Yankee Stadium.

Colorado's collapse extended a stretch that had already gone sideways — three straight losses, including the first two of this series, with a rotation now down to Feltner and whoever else is healthy enough to start.

The Yankees, by contrast, have won two straight and taken the first two meetings of this set, all while trying to hold off Tampa Bay with the schedule thinning out in September.

The Polymarket chat treated the early innings like the whole ballgame, with the busiest five-minute stretch of the night coming right after first pitch as New York's early runs piled up. "HOMERUN!!" got the loudest pop in the room, while one poster holding Colorado cracked, "Rockies more like rookies," as the deficit grew.

By the time the six-run seventh landed, the outcome was academic — New York out-hit Colorado, and the only drama left was how lopsided the final line would look.
