The Colorado Rockies lost 5-3 on Monday night in Atlanta against the Braves, and further solidified the fact that they have the worst record in all of baseball at 49-74. Ouch.

Things don’t get much better for the club that’s lost 12 of their last 14, either; after two more in Atlanta and an off-day Thursday, the Rockies head to Pittsburgh for three games over the weekend before coming back home.
