Colorado will be looking to snap out of its cold stretch when it faces San Francisco on Tuesday night. The Rockies have lost six of their last seven games, including a 13-6 loss in their series finale against San Diego on Sunday. San Francisco has won six of its last seven games, but it still needs a miracle to make the playoffs.
Colorado has been terrible for virtually the entire second half of the season. The Rockies have lost six of their last seven games, getting swept by San Francisco at home last week. Their offense went cold in the final three games of the series, as San Francisco outscored them 15-4 during those contests. Colorado snapped that losing skid with a 4-3 win over San Diego in 10 innings on Friday, but it proceeded to get blown out on Saturday and Sunday. The Rockies gave up nine runs on Saturday and 13 runs on Sunday, so their pitching staff will be looking to bounce back this week. They have the fifth-worst record in the National League and have already been eliminated from the playoffs.
Thank you Rox Fans??
