Rockies Drop Fourth Straight 100-Loss Season in Defeat to Arizona

Colorado's 7-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday made it the first MLB team with four consecutive 100-loss seasons since the 1962-65 Mets.

The Colorado Rockies lost 7-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday at Coors Field, clinching their fourth consecutive season with at least 100 losses. Colorado became just the fifth team in major league history to reach that mark and the first since the New York Mets did it from 1962 through 1965.

Former Rockies All-Star Nolan Arenado had three hits for Arizona, and Michael Soroka held Colorado to two hits over seven innings. The announced attendance was 19,324.

The Rockies entered Tuesday with a major-league-worst 220-423 record since the start of the 2023 season, 23 games behind the next-closest team, the Chicago White Sox. Colorado had been 50-74 after beating San Francisco on Aug. 16 but has gone 7-26 since, including 2-13 in its last 15 games.

Pitching has remained a persistent issue. The Rockies carried a 5.57 team ERA into Tuesday, the highest in the majors, and have finished with the worst ERA every season since 2022. Colorado went a combined 5-21 this year against NL West rivals Los Angeles and San Diego.

Despite the losing, the season has included bright spots. Catcher Hunter Goodman earned his second straight All-Star selection and entered Tuesday one home run short of becoming the first Rockies player with 40 in a season since 2019, while rookie first baseman TJ Rumfield ranked fifth in the National League with a .300 batting average.
