It was the Rockies’ eighth straight defeat and they are 6-33, the worst 39-game start since the 1988 Baltimore Orioles opened with the same record.

The Colorado Rockies have set a new bar for futility since the National League began play in 1876.

While Colorado’s run differential of -89 (106 runs scored and 195 surrendered) is the worst in the MLB, the Rockies’ Pythagorean winning percentage — a formula that roughly estimates how many wins a team should have, based on its runs scored and surrendered — puts them a hair short of eight wins out of these 34 games.
