Last week was nice. The Colorado Rockies took two-of-three from the best team in baseball so far, the Philadelphia Phillies, before topping perennial American League Central contender Cleveland Guardians. For good measure, they even won their first game of a three-game road-set against the Los Angeles Dodgers – ultimately tallying five wins in a seven game span.
They have dropped five straight games since, being outscored 37-to-12 in that timespan – suffering a 13-3 loss against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday before dropping Wednesday’s game 12-7. The squad now sits 21-40 on the season, tied for the second-worst mark in baseball, 16 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division standings and 8.
