After losing five straight and with one game remaining before the All-Star Break, this recap was always going to have one of two themes:
- Rockies end losing streak and enter the break on a high note — perfect timing!
- Rockies lose another one and, at the very least, now get a break — perfect timing!
The Diamondbacks beat the Rockies 5-3 in Arizona Sunday, so we’re stuck with option two. To make matters worse, the loss has put the Rockies below .500 for the first time since late May. Perfect timing, indeed.
