CINCINNATI — The Rockies’ June swoon is in full bloom.
Lefty Austin Gomber served up three more home runs in a bitter 5-4 loss to the Reds on Monday night, the Rockies’ sixth consecutive defeat.
The Rockies had a chance to rally in the ninth when Mike Moustakas and Jurickson Profar delivered back-to-back singles off Reds closer Alex Diaz. But Diaz struck out Randal Grichuk and Ryan McMahon and got Elias Diaz to ground out to shortstop Spencer Steer for his 19th save.
Decimated by injuries, plagued by terrible starting pitching, and getting erratic at-bats from players getting their first taste of the big leagues, the Rockies fell to 5-13 this month.
