If you are trying to find a silver lining from the Colorado Rockies going out and losing two straight road series, well good luck. Players still hustled as much as they could, but the pitching staff wasn't that sharp.

On Sunday, the Rockies saw their weekend series against the Detroit Tigers end with yet another defeat. That means that Colorado is currently on a seven-game losing streak, something that the Rockies just didn't need as they look to avoid 100 losses.

How about this statistic: The Rockies' seven-game losing streak is their seventh streak of that nature (at least seven games) since 2025. Colorado now joins the Pittsburgh Innocents (yes, there was a team in Pittsburgh before the Pirates), who has 173 losses between 1890-92, for the ninth-most road losses in a three-year span (2024-26).

Getting swept by Detroit marks the 12th time that the Rockies have been swept this season, tying them for the fifth-most sweeps in a series of at least two games in a single season in club history. This team joins the 2014 and 2019 Rockies in that marker.

The Rockies, this season, join other clubs from 2004, 2015, and 2022 as tied for the eighth-most losses in a single season. Also, this is the 11th season in Rockies franchise history where they have suffered 94 losses in a single season.

Well, I think these numbers speak loudly for the team's record situation. Entering an upcoming series against San Diego, the Rockies are 55-94 overall. They only have room to lose five more games this season to not reach the 100-loss mark.

So, the record is what it is for the Rockies' franchise. Yet that's not the whole story because Colorado has seen a number of young players step up and deliver when needed. That infusion of youth has shown both an ability to keep hustling and hitting as well as they can do.

At the same time, that youth is still akin to making mistakes. 

Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer has been doing his best to integrate his own style of baseball into this team in 2026. Schaeffer is a note taker in the dugout, always having a notepad and pencil nearby to write things down.

Rockies fans still continue to come out to Coors Field and support their team. They, too, though have a level of frustration in watching the ballclub not able to turn things around in the win column.

They will have to wait until the 2027 MLB season, if there is one, to get better.
