Rockies Lose 21st Consecutive Series, Set Record for Longest Streak in MLB History

The Colorado Rockies set an unfortunate MLB record with Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Chicago Cubs.

The loss made the Rockies the first team in MLB history to lose 21 straight series, according to Opta Stats. The stretch dates back to last season.

Despite a comeback attempt led by Brenton Doyle, the Rockies fell to an overall record of 9-46 on Tuesday evening with their second straight loss to the Cubs.

The defeat continued the struggles the Rockies have been facing since Colorado recorded a franchise-record 103 losses in 2023 and 101 in 2024.

This isn't the first time the Rockies, who are in danger of a third straight 100-loss campaign, have made modern MLB history this season.

The Rockies became the quickest MLB team to record 40 losses by taking just 48 games to reach the mark, according to Baseball Reference.

Colorado then marked the worst 50-game start in modern MLB history by beating out the 1904 Washington Senators, the franchise that later became the Minnesota Twins, with an 8-32 record.

Colorado is also batting .193 through 27 road games. No team in MLB history has ever batted under .200 on the road for a full season.

The Rockies are also tied with the Chicago White Sox for the worst team batting average in MLB at .219.

Colorado's starting pitchers have, meanwhile, combined for a league-worst 6.67 ERA, and the rotation has struggled to the degree that manager Bud Black has placed multiple position players on the mound.

The White Sox set a modern MLB record with 121 losses last season. The Rockies need to go at least 47-60 over the remainder of the 2025 campaign to avoid coming in under that mark and cementing their place in baseball infamy.
