The Rockies’ 6-3 loss to the Cubs Saturday was a microcosm of their season-long ineptitude.
Relievers issued costly walks and the lineup hit 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position as the Rockies lost their sixth consecutive game and inched closer to the first 100-loss season in franchise history. With eight games remaining, they are 56-98.
With the game tied 3-3 in the seventh, reliever Nick Mears issued three consecutive walks, throwing 12 balls on 13 pitches, to be exact. Of course, the walks haunted him. It could have been a disaster for the Rockies, but Justin Lawrence came in with no outs and limited the Cubs to one run on Cody Bellinger’s sacrifice fly to left. Lawrence struck out Seiya Suzki for the second out and got Dansby Swanson to fly out to left to end the inning.
Lawrence’s solid work left the Rockies trailing by a single run, and when they loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, a victory at Wrigley Field looked quite possible. Except that right-hander Julian Merryweather struck out Brenton Doyle and Charlie Blackmon to end the threat.The Rockies finished the game 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base as their clutch-hitting woes continued to torment them.
