The Rockies drove in seven runs, smashed two home runs and, at one point, held a four-run lead.
It still wasn’t enough against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday afternoon.
With two outs in the ninth inning, the Reds hit two home runs, including a grand slam from second baseman Jonathan India, as Colorado lost, 12-7, and extended its losing streak to five games.
The Rockies were up 7-6 when pitcher Jalen Beeks was asked to secure the victory out of the bullpen. After Beeks hit Reds center fielder TJ Friedl to start the inning, he got two quick outs.
