Minnesota Twins bested by MLB-worst Colorado Rockies 6-4
Ryan McMahon's two-run homer capped a four-run first inning, Jordan Beck homered and finished a double shy of hitting for the cycle and the MLB-worst Colorado Rockies opened their second half of the season with a 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. The Rockies had four straight extra-base hits in the bottom of the first with doubles by Tyler Freeman and Mickey Moniak, a triple by Beck and McMahon's 14th home run. Beck hit his 11th homer in the second inning and finished with two RBIs. Kyle Freeland (2-10) earned his second win in 18 starts this season. His last victory was on June 4 against Miami. Against Minnesota, he went six innings, giving up one run on five hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Seth Halvorsen earned his ninth save. Willi Castro's three-run homer off Jake Bird in the seventh inning cut the Twins' deficit to 6-4. Byron Buxton had three hits, including his 22nd homer in the fifth. Ryan Jeffers matched a career high with four hits. Chris Paddack (3-9) went five innings, giving up five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five. Colorado's Ezequíel Tovar returned from the injured list and started at shortstop. Infielder Thairo Estrada went on the 10-day IL with a sprained left thumb. The Rockies' run of extra-base hits in the first, including McMahon's homer, provided the bulk of their offense. The Rockies won for just the 11th time at Coors Field. They have lost 36 at home. Colorado needs to win 19 of its final 65 games in the second half to avoid matching the White Sox's modern-era record of 121 losses, set last season. Minnesota has not announced a starter for Saturday's game. Colorado will send RHP Antonio Senzatela (3-13, 6.60 ERA).

Twins at Rockies prediction: Odds, expert picks, starting pitchers, betting trends, and stats for July 18
It's Friday, July 18 and the Twins (47-49) are in Denver to take on the Rockies (22-74). Chris Paddack is slated to take the mound for Minnesota against Kyle Freeland for Colorado. Minnesota won its past three series against Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, and the Chicago Cubs to earn a 6-3 record in the past nine. The Twins are in a heathy spot to be completive and steal an AL Wild Card spot. Minnesota is four games back of the final postseason spot and can make ground against Colorado here. The Rockies ended the first half of the season with 22 wins, which is by far the worst in the MLB. However, Colorado did start 9-50 in the first 59 games, so 13-24 over the last 37 games is a significant improvement. Colorado is 1-5 over the last six games, so maybe the magic is wearing off.
