The Colorado Rockies stumbled out of the gate on their six-game road trip through Miami and Minnesota, suffering a three-game sweep at the hands of the Marlins in south Florida.

With the losses, the Colorado Rockies are now 30-40 on the season, the furthest away from .500 the team has been in 2022, with a three-game set against the Twins on tap this weekend. Help could be on the way, however, as Kris Bryant is expected to join the club in Minnesota after his second stint on the injured list this season.
