Among the riddles facing the Rockies is how to find a winning formula at Coors Field. Because, right now, it’s a home-field disadvantage.
The Rockies’ 5-3 loss to Arizona on a 98-degree, desert-like Saturday night in LoDo dropped their home record to 7-29, the worst home record in the majors and their worst start through 36 home games in franchise history.
Colorado has been outscored 277-150 (minus-127) at home this year, the worst run differential through the first 36 home games of a season since the 1897 St. Louis Browns (minus-135), per Opta STATS.
Geraldo Perdomo’s two-run homer in the fifth off reliever Jimmy Herget lifted Arizona to its eighth win in its last 10 games.
