The Colorado Rockies' struggles continued with a 2-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Phillies, marking an alarming 8-42 start to the season, the worst in MLB modern history. The last team to begin this poorly was the 1895 Louisville Colonels. This dismal record places the Rockies on pace to surpass the Cleveland Spiders' all-time low of 134 losses. In stark contrast, the Phillies, with this victory, have showcased their strength, improving to 32-18 and achieving a season sweep over the Rockies.

Ranger Suárez delivered a stellar performance for Philadelphia, pitching 6.2 innings with six strikeouts, while Germán Márquez managed to keep the game competitive despite the loss. The Rockies' failure to capitalize with runners in scoring position, combined with their defensive lapses, highlighted the depth of their woes this season.
