Rockies struggling in close games

It seems like there’s usually a turning point in a baseball game, and lately the Rockies have been on the wrong side of that turn. They’ve been able to get within a run late in the game, but they haven’t been able to get a win. They’re 1-21 in games where they have trailed going into the ninth inning. This isn’t just part of the 2019 Rockies, though. The team is a mere 7-78 in the same situation through last year. It’s not every time; occasionally the Rockies can pull it off. However, for the most part, they’ve been unable to finish the job, especially when they have runners in scoring position.
