• The Rockies staged a rapid comeback with a series of singles and a bunt, loading the bases with no outs before a two-run hit off Chapman sealed the game.
• Chapman, who had converted 29 consecutive save opportunities without yielding a run, struggled in this outing, marking his first blown save since July 23.
• Despite strong performances earlier from Jake Bennett, Willson Contreras, and solid defensive plays, the Red Sox were unable to hold the lead against the struggling Rockies, who completed an eight-hit rally.
