In a season full of lows, the Rockies bottomed out Saturday night in Los Angeles.
The Rockies’ bullpen came apart at the seams in the seventh and eighth innings and the Dodgers rallied for a 6-4 victory. Colorado has lost a season-high seven consecutive games and is 1-11 in its last 12.
Riding a strong start by lefty Kyle Freeland, the Rockies led 4-1 entering the bottom of the seventh. Then came a bullpen meltdown of biblical proportions.
The Rockies tied a franchise record by issuing a franchise-tying six walks in the frame, including five straight walks to open the inning, the first time that’s happened in franchise history.
