The Rockies lost a series against the worst baseball team

The Colorado Rockies’ dismal season continued this weekend with another humiliation: a series loss to the only Major League Baseball team with an even worse record.

The Rockies squandered a 3-0 fifth-inning lead on the south side of Chicago on Saturday, allowing 11 unanswered runs and losing 11-3 to the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field on Saturday afternoon.

Colorado will try to avoid a sweep in the series finale on Sunday.

Since moving to 21-35 in late May following home series wins over the Philadelphia Phillies and Cleveland Guardians – the two best teams in MLB – and an opening win at Dodger Stadium on May 31, the Rockies are 6-20 in June.

The Rockies began June with a 5-game losing streak and now have their second 5-game losing streak of the month. They will finish June without a series win

Saturday’s loss was a rare rocky start for Cal Quantrill, who was only signed in the offseason and has become one of the bright spots in the major league club’s dismal season.

Quantrill opened the game by allowing just two hits and no runs in the first four innings, but he allowed a two-run blast from Lenyn Sosa in the fifth inning, cutting Colorado’s lead to 3-2.

Two more White Sox home runs followed – one of them a two-run hit by Paul DeJong that came six pitches after Quantrill hit Andrew Vaughn with an 85-mph blast – before Nick Mears relieved Quantrill after 5 1/3 innings.

The 5 earned runs Quantrill allowed were the most he has allowed in his last 11 starts.

Still, the game remained within reach until the bottom of the eighth inning, when the White Sox crushed Jalen Beeks and former first-round pick Riley Pint for six runs. Pint entered the game with two baserunners on base and two runs on the board and promptly allowed a three-run shot to Korey Lee. He allowed another run after a walk, single and wild pitch.

The Rockies’ 5-3 loss Friday night at Guaranteed Rate Field dropped the Rockies to 27-54 at midseason, their worst midseason record in club history and the second straight year the Rockies were on pace to have 100 losses at midseason.

The Rockies have never been in such a bad situation at this point in the season, and on Saturday against the White Sox, things got even worse.
