The Rockies’ road trip from hell mercifully ended Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
It ended devilishly with L.A. completing a three-game sweep with an 8-7 victory at Dodger Stadium. The Rockies had their chances, but 16 strikeouts and a terrible start from German Marquez doomed them.
The 0-6 road trip began in San Diego, where the Padres took three from the Rockies, who failed to score a run. Colorado was outscored 35-12 during the road trip and outhit 54-33. The Rockies’ 3-15 start is the worst in franchise history.
Colorado’s West Coast trip included a quad injury to center fielder Brenton Doyle, who missed all six games, save for a pinch-hit appearance in the ninth inning Wednesday night.
