Moniak's 2 HRs Lead Rockies Past Phillies

Mickey Moniak hit two home runs to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Coors Field on April 5, 2026.

Moniak's solo homer in the first inning and another in the fifth inning powered the Rockies, who were able to avoid being swept by the Phillies. The Phillies' offense struggled, with only Adolis Garcia managing a home run for the team.

Phillies starter Taijuan Walker had a rough outing, giving up three runs early in the game. The top five of Philadelphia's batting order went 2-19 against Rockies pitching, failing to capitalize despite having a three-run deficit in hitter-friendly Coors Field.
