Leslee’s side of the family has its own rich sports heritage. Her mom, Janice (Fenimore) Smith, played collegiate softball at Oklahoma State and Northern Colorado. Her younger brothers, Matt and Zach, were both high school football stars.

He went seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and just one walk. He allowed just two hits after the second inning, induced two crucial double plays, and threw 78 pitches.

The Colorado Rockies will look to turn their first home series win of 2025 into a three-game series sweep on Sunday when they host the Minnesota Twins in Denver.

The first half of the MLB season did not disappoint thanks to Cal Raleigh, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani and others. But this is where the real fun begins.

The Colorado Rockies are enduring a historically dismal season, sitting at 22-74. They're on pace for 125 losses a year after the Chicago White Sox went 41-121, which is the worst mark since baseball adopted a 162-game schedule in 1961.
