DENVER -- The Rockies' weekend series against the D-backs was a chance to gain ground for home field in the National League Wild Card Game. Instead, the Rockies find themselves fighting to play in that game at all.
Three straight losses to the D-backs, including a 5-1 defeat Sunday, have the Rockies sitting just a half-game ahead of the Brewers for the second NL Wild Card spot. The D-backs outscored the Rockies, 20-8, and outhit them, 27-17.
"We're all frustrated. I don't know if it's boiled over, but we're all frustrated," DJ LeMahieu said.
