Rockies News
After a resounding 13-1 victory over the Nationals, the Rockies still find themselves staring down the barrel of a potential 100-loss season with their record at 52-81. Rookie pitcher Gabriel Hughes is under scrutiny to simplify his outings as he aims to solidify his spot in the rotation, a challenge made all the more urgent by the team's dire need for reliable arms. With only 29 games left, the Rockies must find a way to win at least 11 of them to escape the ignominy of reaching the century mark in losses. It's a tough ask, especially following a lackluster 2-5 stretch where their run differential plummeted to -12, but a blowout win like last night's at Nationals Park might just inject a spark into this lukewarm season. The question looms: can they turn this momentum into a powerful finish?
