洛磯隊在贏得前兩場比賽8-6和8-3後，懷著新的信心進入這個系列賽決賽，終於在庫爾斯球場展現出生機。坦納·戈登投出的球速有所提高，在他最後一次出場中達到95.2英里。儘管他的整體數據仍然令人擔憂，但丹佛稀薄的空氣可能會加強他的四縫速球對陣巨人隊陣容的有效性，該陣容除了路易斯·阿拉埃茲火熱的.329開局外基本上表現不佳。由亨特·古德曼的13支本壘打和埃澤基爾·托瓦爾的新興表現領導的洛磯隊進攻已在這個有利於高度的環境中找到了節奏。科羅拉多州從傷兵名單中啟動傑夫·克里斯威爾為牛棚提供了他們迫切需要的深度，儘管他們仍然缺少吉米·赫蓋特和維克多·沃德尼克等關鍵投手。羅比·雷對巨人隊既是機會也是危險。他4.60的防禦率反映了不一致的控球力，他最近的速度讀數顯示令人擔憂的下降，從95.0英里在他最後一次出場中下降到94.0英里。這位左手投手的滑球仍然是他的出局球，但科羅拉多州像古德曼和TJ·拉姆菲爾德這樣的右手威力威脅可能會利用任何擊球區的錯誤。舊金山的進攻幾乎完全由阿拉埃茲提供動力，馬特·查普曼（.229）和威利·阿達梅斯（.239）提供最少的支持。鄭俊和從傷兵名單中的回歸提供了一線希望，但巨人隊在過去五場比賽中只得了15分，並且全部輸掉了。牛棚匹配對任何一支球隊都沒有明顯的優勢。科羅拉多州的筆由於糟糕的開局投擲而被耗盡，而舊金山的救濟隊伍儘管有一些不錯的投手但表現不一致。高度因素在後期局數中變得至關重要，在那裡在海平面上會是例行出局的飛球在庫爾斯球場變成雙打或本壘打。雖然兩支球隊本賽季都表現不佳，但洛磯隊最近在主場表現出生機，這場比賽應該會提供庫爾斯球場典型的進攻火力，同時雷的控球問題會被突然充滿信心的科羅拉多州陣容所暴露。

Game Preview

下午的陽光照耀著庫爾斯球場，坦納·戈登踏上投手丘，尋求完成一週前似乎不可能的系列賽橫掃。亨特·古德曼用一個安打推進埃澤基爾·託瓦爾得分，後者在對羅比·雷的不穩定控球中選到保送。巨人隊在第二局時由路易斯·阿拉埃茲沿著左外野線打出打點雙打來反擊，展示了使他成為球隊進攻催化劑的接觸技能。中間幾局變成了一場棋局，兩名投手都進入了節奏，但稀薄的空氣開始對雷減少的速度造成傷害。在第四局，洛磯隊通過TJ·拉姆菲爾德的關鍵兩出局打擊和泰勒·弗里曼通過移位內野的打點安打突破。同時，戈登利用改進的四縫速球使巨人隊的掙扎陣容失去平衡，儘管馬特·查普曼在第六局打出本壘打以保持舊金山處於爭分範圍內。關鍵的第八局看到科羅拉多州利用他們重振旗鼓的進攻對巨人隊過度疲勞的牛棚施加壓力，古德曼用打到間隙牆上彈起的兩分打點雙打投出致命一擊。雷投出92個球數但允許5分下場，他的控球在庫爾斯球場的無情環境中從未足夠敏銳。

73的信心水平反映了科羅拉多州在主場對同一巨人隊最近的勢頭，結合羅比·雷在庫爾斯球場環境中速度和控球能力下降的問題。儘管兩支球隊總體上都在苦苦掙扎，但洛磯隊在這個系列賽中已經找到了進攻節奏。
