Rockies squander lead, drop series at Arizona to fall further into NL West cellar

If there was one saving grace about the previous three years of Rockies futility, it was that they weren’t the worst team in the NL West.

After dropping two of three to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field over the weekend, they don’t even have that in Year 4 of their current nosedive.

Colorado’s bullpen squandered a seventh-inning lead for the second time in three days Sunday, falling 6-4 to the D-backs to finish 2-6 in a seven-day, eight-game road swing through San Diego (1-4) and Phoenix (1-2).

Rockies reliever Alex Colome balked in the game-winning run with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the eighth inning.
