Rockies Extend MLB Worst Record to 12-52 After Mets Loss at Coors Field

The Colorado Rockies have continued to struggle this MLB season, extending their home losing streak to 18 games and holding a dismal 12-52 overall record, one of the worst in the modern era. Their inability to perform in clutch situations was evident in an 8-1 loss to the New York Mets, where the Rockies went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position, and the Mets hit three leadoff homers, including one by Ronny Mauricio. The Mets have dominated the season series against the Rockies with a 4-0 record and have won seven consecutive games over them. Despite some individual highlights like Ryan McMahon's homer and rookie Ryan Ritter's major-league debut triple, Colorado's team performance, especially pitching and bullpen, has faltered, with rookie closer Zach Agnos giving up key runs. The Rockies also face challenges with injuries, such as shortstop Ezequiel Tovar being on the injured list. Meanwhile, the Mets, led by players like Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, maintain strong offensive and pitching performances, securing their position atop the NL East.
