It's a frustratingly familiar story for Rockies fans: a few glimmers of offensive hope completely overshadowed by a pitching collapse and another tally in the loss column. Despite a career night from catcher Braxton Fulford, the Rockies fell to the Milwaukee Brewers 10-6, extending their current losing streak to four games and continuing a brutal road trip.
The Rockies have now lost four straight and seven of their last eight games, dropping their season record to a league-worst 18-63.
In a season defined by offensive struggles, Braxton Fulford provided a much-needed spark. The catcher was the undisputed star for Colorado, going 3-for-4 and driving in half of the team's runs. His run-scoring double in the sixth kept the Rockies within striking distance, and his two-run double in the eighth provided a late-game surge. Thairo Estrada also had a solid night, collecting three hits and a two-run single. Seeing these flashes of production is encouraging, but it once again wasn't enough to overcome the team's other deficiencies.
While the bats showed some life, the mound was another story. Kyle Freeland's difficult season continued as he was unable to find his rhythm against a potent Brewers lineup. The veteran lefty lasted just four innings, getting tagged for six runs on eight hits and three walks. The backbreaker was a three-run homer by Jackson Chourio in the fourth inning that blew the game open. Brice Turang added a two-run single later, and the Rockies' bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding. Freeland's record now sits at a painful 1-9, symbolizing a starting rotation that has struggled for consistency all year.
This loss wasn't just a single bad game; it's part of a deeply concerning trend. The defeat marks the team's fourth straight loss and their seventh in the last eight contests. With a season record of 18-63, the Rockies are firmly planted in the NL West cellar. The combination of inconsistent offense and unreliable pitching has created a perfect storm, leaving the team searching for answers as the season slips further away.
The Rockies will look to salvage the series finale and snap this ugly losing streak tomorrow. Antonio Senzatela (3-10, 6.48 ERA) gets the ball, facing the Brewers' Quinn Priester. It's another tough matchup, but after a night where the offense showed some life, fans can only hope the pitching follows suit. A win is desperately needed to inject some positivity into a season that's been short on it.
