If you are shocked by the Rockies’ latest way to lose, you’re probably living under a rock.
Colorado held a 5-2 lead over the Giants going into the ninth in the series opener on Tuesday at Coors Field. Up to that point, they had timely hitting, got a decent start from Carson Palmquist, and the bullpen had been flawless.
Then came the punch line as the Rockies remain on pace to be the worst team in modern baseball history.
Closer Zach Agnos imploded in the final inning, and fellow reliever Victor Vodnik couldn’t clean up his mess as San Francisco plated four runs to hand Colorado a 6-5 defeat.
