The Rockies did a lot of things right against the Phillies on Monday night. But, per usual, their wrongs wiped out their rights.
Philadelphia scored seven runs in its last two at-bats to rally for a 9-3 win at Coors Field before a red-clad crowd that frequently broke into chants of “Let’s go Phillies!”
And so the Rockies’ road to baseball infamy continued unabated. The Rockies’ 8-39 record is the worst in the modern era (since 1901) through 47 games. To avoid its third consecutive 100-loss season, Colorado would have to go 55-60 for the rest of the season.
