At 7-24, they continue to add to an unfortunate record.
The Colorado Rockies jumped on Miami Marlins ' Edward Cabrera and scored three first-inning runs Thursday and had a great opportunity to snap one of the more astounding current streaks in sports. A wire-to-wire victory — unremarkable yet still elusive — appeared to be in reach. But as has happened in each of the Rockies' first 31 games this season, they played their way into a deficit.
The Rockies are the first team since 1900 to trail in each of their first 31 games. With each game they add on to the record, having blown past the 1910 St. Louis Browns who stumbled out of the gates in their first 28 games. One would have to go all the way back to Sept. 26, 2023 to find the last time they enjoyed a lead in a Major League Baseball game. Which is not ideal.
Expectations were pretty low for the Rockies coming off a 59-103 campaign last season but no one could have expected this. The hitting hasn't been atrocious but the pitching is another story. Colorado currently carries a 5.92 ERA, easily the worst in baseball and much higher than even the Chicago White Sox .
