Tomoyuki Sugano is on fire, notching his seventh win in eight starts with a gem of a performance: six and two-thirds innings, one run allowed. His brilliance helped the Rockies snap a four-game skid with a gritty win over the Royals — even after a hailstorm delayed play for an hour. Sugano’s surge has him tied for the best record in MLB since June 1 (7-0), and he’s the first Rockies pitcher to reach 11 wins since Germán Márquez in 2021. The offense backed him up with early runs, including a throwing error, and Brenton Doyle’s return from injury added a double. The Royals got one back on a homer, but the bullpen — Senzatela, Bernardino, and Romano — locked it down. This win was a much-needed boost, and Sugano’s dominance is shaping up as a major storyline for Colorado’s playoff push.
