The Colorado Rockies have stumbled out of the gates to start the season. The Rockies have lost 10 of 11 games entering Sunday's finale at Philadelphia, including eight straight losses prior to winning the series opener. Things took an additional turn for the worse on Saturday when Kris Bryant had to leave the game with soreness on his left side. On Sunday, the Rockies fell for the 11th time in 12 games after coughing up four home runs to the Phillies in a 9-3 loss.
