DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies got a win on Thursday and avoided reaching a new low and setting the record for the worst start in the modern era.
Orlando Arcia's two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Rockies an 8-7 win over the San Francisco Giants. It moved Colorado's record to 13-55 -- tied with the 1932 Boston Red Sox for the worst. That Red Sox team also won its 68th game.
The Rockies are aware of the record, but it is not something they dwell on.
