What to know

  • Colorado became the fifth MLB franchise ever, and the first since the 1962-65 New York Mets, to lose at least 100 games in four consecutive seasons.
  • Since the start of 2023, the Rockies are 220-423, the worst record in MLB and 23 games worse than the next-closest team.
  • The loss came as Colorado went 7-26 since Aug. 16, including 2-13 in its last 15 games, after briefly looking like it might avoid a fourth straight 100-loss year.
  • Arizona's win kept the Diamondbacks four games behind Philadelphia for the final NL wild-card spot with five games remaining.

“You learn your hardest lessons in difficulty in life. This is not easy... We've just lost 100 again. There are a ton of lessons to learn from it. If we don't learn these lessons from these games this year, we won't get better.”

    Schaeffer and Arenado react to the milestone loss

    Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer and former Rockies star Nolan Arenado, now with Arizona, both spoke on the franchise's fourth straight 100-loss season, framing it as a painful but instructive stage for a young roster.

    “We've just lost 100 again. There are a ton of lessons to learn from it. If we don't learn these lessons from these games this year, we won't get better.”
    — Warren Schaeffer
