Former Tennessee baseball star Jordan Beck entered the Colorado Rockies’ Thursday doubleheader with just three home runs in his young MLB career.
The Rockies outfielder doubled his career total against Kansas City on Thursday, homering three times in the doubleheader. Hitting in the seven-hole, Beck hit one home run in game one of the doubleheader while going two-for-three at the plate with a solo homer.
Beck was even more impressive in game two of the doubleheader, going two-for-three again with both hits being solo home runs.
Incredibly, Colorado scored just six combined runs in a doubleheader where its seven-hole hitter hit three home runs. Kansas City took game one of the set 7-4 and game two 6-2. If you’re doing the math, yes, Colorado scored both of its game two runs on Beck solo homers.

Former Tennessee ace Chase Dollander started in game two and struggled, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and two walks in 4.2 innings pitched.
Beck is hitting .250 this season with a .341 on-base percentage in 36 at-bats. The former Volunteer right fielder has three home runs, seven RBIs and three stolen bases so far this season. In 206 career at-bats, Beck is hitting with .199 with six home runs and 20 RBIs.
In a three-year college career, Beck combined to hit .284 with 34 home runs, 75 extra-base hits and 134 RBIs. The Rockies selected Beck in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft. Colorado is off to a pitiful 4-20 start to the 2025 season.
