One step forward was followed by two big steps back for the Rockies after the All-Star break.
After rallying for a 6-5 win over the Orioles on Friday at Camden Yards to start the first road trip of the second half, Colorado got pummeled 18-0 on Saturday and then lost 5-1 on Sunday to drop the series.
The pair of weekend defeats sank the Rockies to 27-78. Colorado is on track to go 42-120, which would narrowly avoid the distinction of being the worst team in modern baseball history, set by the 121-loss White Sox last year.
