The Colorado Rockies made the wrong kind of history Sunday afternoon, setting a franchise record for most losses in a season with 99.
The Rockies made the wrong kind of history Sunday afternoon.
With their 4-3 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field, the Rockies lost for the 99th time, clinching the worst season in franchise history. The 2012 club held the previous dubious distinction, going 64-98. And there is another historical footnote to add to Colorado’s dismal season. Sunday’s loss was their 10th straight on the road marking the third time this season that they’ve had posted a road losing streak of 10 games. That is the first time in baseball’s modern era that a team had three, 10-game road losing streaks in the same season.
Colorado finished 22-59 away from Coors Field for the second-lowest road winning percentage in franchise history behind the 2014 club’s .259 percentage . With a youth movement in full swing after the Aug. 1 trade deadline, the Rockies knew they would struggle after the trade deadline, but losses such as Sunday’s are still a gut punch.Rookie left fielder Nolan Jones hit a solo homer in the sixth to put the Rockies ahead, 3-1. It was Jones’ 18th homer, with 10 coming on the road.
