Rockies Avoid MLB Historic Loss Record With 42nd Win Over Angels

The 2025 Colorado Rockies have experienced the worst season in franchise history and set the record for the most losses by a National League team in the modern era, with 112 losses so far. Despite this, their 42nd win prevented them from breaking the overall MLB record for most losses in a season, held by the 2024 Chicago White Sox who went 41-121. The Rockies started the season disastrously, with a 5-25 record in April and 9-49 by the end of May, leading to the firing of longtime manager Bud Black. Since June, the team has improved slightly but remains one of the worst teams in MLB, with the worst run differential in modern history and struggles in both offense and defense. Their losing streaks were shorter than the White Sox's historic skids, but the Rockies' consistent poor performance over multiple seasons highlights deeper organizational issues and a bleak outlook. Meanwhile, the team did manage a notable win against the Angels, with contributions from players like Tyler Freeman and Blaine Crim, but the overall trajectory remains dire.
