Minnesota then put the game away in the bottom of the eighth, plating three more runs to reach the final margin of five. On the Colorado side, Ryan McMahon's grounded into double play in the top of the sixth off Chris Paddack cost the Rockies 7.0% in win probability, effectively closing off one of their better late opportunities to generate offense.
