Colorado Rockies Record Worst 60-Game Start in MLB History

The Colorado Rockies have set a dubious MLB record with the worst start through 60 games in modern history, falling to a 9-50 record, the first team ever to reach 50 losses before 10 wins. Their struggles continued with an eight-game losing streak snapped only by a 6-4 win over the Miami Marlins, highlighted by Hunter Goodman's two home runs and strong bullpen performance. Despite this rare victory, the Rockies were swept at home by the New York Mets, who were powered by outstanding performances from Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, and Pete Alonso, helping the Mets finish a 7-2 homestand and regain first place in the NL East. Francisco Lindor's homer in the series finale marked the Mets' seventh win in eight games, while the Rockies extended their record of 22 consecutive series losses, including 10 sweeps, dating back to September 2024. The Rockies are on pace to break the all-time MLB record for most losses in a season, set by the 1899 Cleveland Spiders. These ongoing defeats contrast sharply with other Denver sports teams, such as the Broncos and Nuggets, which have achieved more wins in their respective seasons.
