Rockies lose seventh straight as late rally vs. Reds comes up short

CINCINNATI — A by-the-numbers picture illustrates just how ugly things have gotten for the Rockies:

• Their gut-punch, 8-6 loss Tuesday night at Great American Ballpark was their seventh defeat in a row. The sizzling Reds, meanwhile, won their 10th consecutive game and are the surprise leaders in the National League Central division.

• The Rockies fell to 29-47, a .382 winning percentage that puts them on pace for a 62-100 season, which would be the first 100-loss season in 31 years of Rockies baseball.

• Long reliever Peter Lambert made three throwing errors in Cincinnati’s two-run fifth inning, marking the first time in Rockies history that any player, let alone a pitcher, committed three errors in one inning.
