The Colorado Rockies have been playing some better baseball recently as they look to avoid making some unwanted MLB history.

They are right on pace with the 2024 Chicago White Sox, a team that set the record for most losses in a single season with 121. 

Entering play on July 27, the Rockies have a winning percentage of .260, just ahead of the the .253 that the White Sox recorded last year.

Looking to match their season-high four-game winning streak on Saturday, Colorado fell woefully short, as they were on the receiving end of an ugly blowout loss.

The Rockies were defeated 18-0, with the Orioles making some wild MLB history against them in the process.

According to OptaSTATS on X, Baltimore became the first MLB team in the modern era to have 12 or more players receive an at-bat during a game and have each of them record at least one hit and score at least one run.

Not only was their offense on fire, their starting pitcher, Trevor Rogers, was dealing on the mound.

The former National League All-Star shut down the Rockies offense through seven innings of work, allowing only one hit and issuing one walk to go along with five strikeouts.
