Yesterday’s 10–8 loss capped a 3–4 homestand that saw the Rockies take two of four from the Los Angeles Dodgers and then nearly take the series from San Diego before the ninth inning slipped away.
Up 8–5. A couple of baserunners. One swing.
Gone. That version of the Rockies is still there — the one that lets things get away. But so is the other version, the one that can compete and make games feel alive.
Overall, the Rockies are 7–6 at home this season. On the road, they’re 3–10. This isn’t about correcting the road record overnight.
