The club with the worst start in modern National League history keeps sinking deeper.
Colorado lost its eighth straight game on Tuesday at Coors Field, an 8-2 defeat to the Braves that was never in doubt. German Marquez, who’s yet to regain his All-Star form, was hit hard for seven runs in five-plus innings. And the NL’s most anemic offense struggled again, notching only six hits.
That formula dropped the Rockies to 4-25 in a season that has already spiraled out of control. Firing hitting coach Hensley Meulens and replacing him with Rocktober boss Clint Hurdle has done nothing to reverse the course of a club that is currently tracking toward the most abysmal record in baseball history.
