The Rockies won’t set a major league record for failure, but they sit on the doorstep of franchise infamy after a Sunday afternoon loss to the Padres.
The Padres smacked four home runs and clubbed them, 8-1, at Coors Field to clinch the three-game series. It was loss No. 103 for Colorado, tying the club record for most losses in a season set in 2023.
With 19 games remaining, the 2025 Rockies won’t lose a modern-era record 121 games as the 2024 White Sox did, but they will surely set a club record for futility.
The Padres, meanwhile, improved to 78-65 and remained one game behind the Dodgers in the race for the National League West title.
