Rockies Continue to Sink: Record Losses Mount in 2025 Season
DENVER, April 30, 2025 — The Colorado Rockies are mired in one of the worst starts in National League history, suffering their eighth consecutive defeat with an 8-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Coors Field. This latest setback dropped the Rockies’ record to a dismal 4-25, a stark reflection of their ongoing struggles both offensively and on the mound.
Pitcher German Marquez, who has yet to reclaim his former All-Star performance, surrendered seven runs over five innings. Meanwhile, the Rockies’ offense continued to flounder, managing only six hits throughout the game. The team now holds the worst run differential in Major League Baseball at minus-78, trailing the first-place Dodgers by 15.5 games before May has even begun.
In an attempt to shake things up, the Rockies recently fired hitting coach Hensley Meulens, replacing him with Clint Hurdle, a move that has yet to yield any positive results. The team’s poor performance at home, now tied for the worst in franchise history with a 3-11 record, adds to the pressure as they strive to turn things around.
The game saw Michael Harris II put Atlanta ahead in the second inning with a two-run double, followed by a home run from Colorado’s Michael Toglia. However, Atlanta quickly extended its lead, capitalizing on defensive errors from the Rockies, who have committed 16 errors at home this season.
With the upcoming games against the Giants looming, Colorado’s chances of reversing its fortunes appear slim. Wednesday’s match features Braves’ left-handed pitcher Chris Sale against Rockies’ right-hander Chase Dollander at 1:10 p.m.
As the Rockies struggle to find their footing, fans hope for a revival in the coming weeks.
