As the Rockies flirt with the first 100-loss season in franchise history, they are sinking rapidly into National League West oblivion.
On a 95-degree Wednesday afternoon, they lost a 9-7 Coors Field slugfest to the Diamondbacks.
The loss dropped the Rockies’ record to 2-8 against the D-backs this season and left the Rockies a combined 8-27 against all of their NL West foes. That .229 winning percentage vs. the West is the lowest in franchise history.
Colorado (46-75), losers of 11 of their last 15 games, are on pace to finish 62-100.
Rockies killer Christian Walker launched a pair of two-run homers, including a go-ahead blast off Tyler Kinley in the eighth to lift the Diamondbacks to victory.
