WASHINGTON — The hits keep on coming for the Colorado Rockies. Just not enough of the good kind.
In a game that saw starter Kyle Freeland leave with an apparent leg injury, the Rockies were dealt their fifth straight road series loss and seventh overall in a 6-5 defeat Sunday at the Washington Nationals.
Juan Soto snapped a 15-game home run drought with a two-run shot, and Tanner Rainey got the final five outs to hold off a late Rockies rally that saw them score four runs between the seventh and eighth innings.
With the loss, Colorado is 5-15 in its last 20 games, dropping from a high-water mark of 16-11 on May 7 to 21-26 — the furthest it has been below .
