The Rockies faced yet another heartbreaking loss, this time to the Reds, falling 4-3 after a disastrous ninth inning. Despite a promising start, including a two-run homer from rookie Ryan Ritter and a strong pitching performance from Bradley Blalock, Colorado was unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Their struggles continued as they went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position, a recurring issue that manager Warren Schaeffer highlighted in his post-game comments.

In the ninth, Victor Vodnik, who had previously secured a win, faltered under pressure. A misplayed ball by Brenton Doyle led to the tying run, and errors compounded Colorado's woes. The loss extends the Rockies' abysmal record to 22-73, marking a frustrating season filled with missed chances and disappointing outcomes.
