Rockies lose in 11 innings to Cubs, extend worst start in MLB’s modern era

The Rockies have lost 46 of their first 55 games, but their walk-off loss on Tuesday night was extra painful.

The Rockies played one of their more solid games of a rickety season, got an excellent start from German Marquez, and four stellar innings from their bullpen. But they fell, 4-3, to the Cubs in 11 innings at chilly Wrigley Field and extended the worst start in MLB’s modern era to 9-46.

The Cubs stole the game — literally.

They swiped six bases, including two in the 11th off reliever Tyler Kinley. Ghost runner Pete Crow-Armstrong swiped third and scored on Michael Busch’s check-swing single to left to tie the game 3-3.
