Victory has been within reach for the Colorado Rockies (19-67) in the first two games of the series against the Houston Astros (52-34). The recent trend of “close, but no cigar” has been prevalent for Colorado over the last month, as they’ve played relatively better baseball.
The struggles at home are the most glaring problem for the Rockies as they have lost 14 consecutive home series (16 dating back to 2024). They are 8-34, which is the worst home start in the modern era after 42 games. The Rockies seem to be on a quest to dispel the notion that any player who calls Coors Field home is going to hit.
