The Rockies have won one playoff game in the last 12 years. That one game came against the Chicago Cubs on Oct. 3 in 2018 in a Wild Card matchup that went 13 innings. The Rockies advanced to the NLDS that season thanks to gritty pitching and a game-winning single by Tony Wolters that will live on forever in Rockies lore.
It’s all the more historic now that MLB has eliminated the one-game Wild Card series. That game will never happen again and it set the Rockies and Cubs in different directions just to wind up practically in the same place four years later.
