Mickey Moniak hits two-run homer as Rockies fall to Dodgers

Mickey Moniak, the former No. 1 overall pick for the Philadelphia Phillies, has experienced a career resurgence with the Colorado Rockies. Reflecting on his time in Philadelphia, Moniak attributed his previous struggles to a lack of consistent playing time, noting that he was rarely given the opportunity to establish a rhythm with extended stretches of at-bats.

In a recent matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field, Moniak hit a decisive two-run home run in the seventh inning to tie the game at 4-4. Despite Moniak’s efforts, the Dodgers eventually secured a 6-4 victory in extra innings, completing a series sweep. The game also featured Roki Sasaki, who pitched five innings for the Rockies, and Shohei Ohtani, who went hitless for the Dodgers.
