This Week in Purple: The Bar’s on Fire
It’s pretty clear that the 8-23 Colorado Rockies are not a good baseball team.
However, last night, they got a rare road win, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2. Plus, they stopped an historic skid.
The streak is over:
The Colorado Rockies, for the first time this season, never trailed in a game, winning. 3-2 over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The streak ends after an MLB record 31 games.

Cal Quantrill was downright unhittable against the Pirates on Friday allowing three baserunners and striking out nine.
