Rockies' Dismal Start Threatens MLB Loss Record

The Colorado Rockies have narrowly avoided tying the MLB record for the worst 30-game start after ending an eight-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves, improving to 5-25. Despite the win, the Rockies are still on pace to challenge or surpass the modern record for most losses in a season, set by the 2024 Chicago White Sox at 121. The team's .143 winning percentage reflects severe struggles both offensively and defensively, and their payroll is burdened by underperforming stars Ryan McMahon and Kris Bryant. The Rockies have lost 16 of their last 17 games and continue to rank near the bottom of MLB in hitting, pitching, and fielding statistics. Fans remain loyal despite the prospect of a seventh consecutive losing season and a third straight year with over 100 defeats. Unless there is a dramatic turnaround, the 2025 Rockies could finish with the worst record in modern MLB history.
