With the 100-loss mark reached yet again, the Colorado Rockies are looking to get a win or two before the 2026 MLB season ends.

While the Colorado Rockies had been trying to avoid recording 100 losses for the fourth straight season, that didn't happen. On Tuesday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks posted a 7-2 victory at Coors Field.

The Rockies and Diamondbacks have games on Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon to wrap up Colorado's home schedule. Colorado then moves to the south side of Chicago, where they will play a weekend series against the Chicago White Sox.

In case you missed this statistic, the Rockies are now the fifth ballclub in major-league history to lose 100 or more games in four straight seasons. Colorado also has now lost 11 straight series openers, putting another awful mark on the ballclub.

Kyle Freeland didn't pitch well

Starting pitcher Kyle Freeland worked three innings of some unimpressive work. He made his 129th career start at Coors Field, which are the most in Rockies franchise history. The question now becomes are the Rockies going to bring back Freeland, who was drafted in the first round (No, 8 overall) in the 2014 MLB Draft.

Freeland does not have a contract, according to Spotrac, for next season, which makes the franchise's options around him up in the air. 

Mickey Moniak hit his 23rd home run this season, and Troy Johnston collected his 32nd double of this season as well.

But the Rockies find themselves with five games remaining on their 2026 MLB schedule. Can they get a win, or two, or three against the Diamondbacks and White Sox? They will do their best, of course.

Schaeffer has led Rockies to better record

Manager Warren Schaeffer has led this team from Spring Training until the end of this season. He's worked hard to provide guidance and leadership in an atmosphere of rebuilding. Colorado set itself up for a bad 2025 season as the team got off to a 7-33 start, ultimately firing manager Bud Black.

That's when Schaeffer took over as interim manager, getting the "interim" dropped heading into this season. Sure, it's easy to hang this season's bad record on him. Maybe fans are also doing the same thing to Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and general manager Josh Byrnes.

When doing this, though, remember that they have been working in rebuilding mode. The same fans are tired of that rebuilding word, too. Are there slivers of hope from this season? Of course. Look at the young players who have come up and provided a spark to the lineup.

Take a peek at what type of record the ballclub had last season compared to this season. Colorado picked up 10-plus wins over last season. That's a statistic worth taking note of when the final out is made on Sunday.
