Today, in the second game of a four-game series, the Colorado Rockies (15-57) will face the Washington Nationals (30-42).
The Rockies’ 57 losses in the first 72 games of a season are tied with the 1932 Boston Red Sox for the most in the Modern Era (since 1901). Incidentally, the Red Sox lost their 73rd game of the season to drop to 15-58.
Last night, the Rockies got the series off on a positive note by winning the opener. The Rockies scored three runs in the ninth inning for a 6-4 comeback win, their second win of the season when entering the ninth inning trailing their opponent (2-51).
