Cubs Beat Rockies 3-1 as Colorado Nears MLB-Worst 9-45 Record

The Chicago Cubs have recently dominated the Colorado Rockies, winning both games in a series at Wrigley Field and continuing to capitalize on the Rockies' historically poor season. On May 26, Jameson Taillon pitched a strong game, allowing only one run over more than six innings, while Kyle Tucker drove in two runs to help the Cubs secure a 3-1 victory. The following day, the Cubs rallied in the 11th inning with run-scoring singles from Michael Busch and Matt Shaw to clinch a 4-3 win, extending the Rockies' streak to 21 consecutive series losses. The Rockies, now at 9-46 and on pace for a record-breaking 27-135 season, have been unable to win any series in 2025, contrasting sharply with the Cubs' recent nine wins in 11 games. Defensive highlights included a critical out at home plate by Cubs catcher Reese McGuire, and strong bullpen performances contributed to the Cubs' success. The Cubs have demonstrated versatility in winning both close, low-scoring games and more competitive contests, solidifying their momentum against one of baseball's worst-performing teams.
