The Rockies have 10 more chances to clear themselves of infamy by association.

Colorado dropped its fourth straight game on Wednesday at Coors Field, an 8-4 defeat to the Marlins to clinch the club’s 41st series defeat this season. The loss sank Colorado to 41-111 as the Rockies still need one more win to ensure they don’t tie the 2024 White Sox for the worst record in baseball’s modern era.

The defeat made Colorado the first National League team to lose 111 games in 21 years, since the Diamondbacks did so in 2004. The Rockies continue to fade hard down the stretch with a 2-13 record in September.

The Rockies scored first by manufacturing a couple runs in the second inning off southpaw Ryan Weathers. After Ezequiel Tovar reached on an infield single and then Blaine Crim walked, Kyle Farmer singled Tovar home and Braxton Fulford’s sacrifice fly scored Crim to make it 2-0.

Miami nicked Brown for an RBI single in the third, then took the lead off the rookie with a pair of runs in the fourth. A two-out walk in that inning eventually opened the door for Javier Sanoja’s RBI double and then Jakob Marsee’s RBI infield single to give the visitors a 3-2 advantage.

The Rockies struck back in the bottom of the inning off Weathers, using Hunter Goodman’s double and then an RBI single by Jordan Beck to tie it, 3-3.

After Ryan Rolison pitched a scoreless fifth for Colorado, Jaden Hill got into trouble in the sixth and surrendered the lead back to Miami. A walk, single and hit batter loaded the bases and led to Agustín Ramírez’s sacrifice fly to make it 4-3. Miami then tacked on another run via a sac fly by Heriberto Hernandez off Juan Mejia in the seventh, pushing the score to 5-3.

Miami added insurance in the eighth via Ramírez’s two-run, 422-foot blast to left-center off Roansy Contreras that made it 7-3. Joey Wiemer’s RBI single off Angel Chivilli in the ninth further padded the score.

Mickey Moniak hit a no-doubt, 429 foot blast off a hanging breaking ball to lead off the bottom of the ninth to give the smattering of Rockies fans still in attendance something to cheer about. It was the red-hot Moniak’s 23rd dinger of the season, and the first time in his career with a homer in three straight games.

Colorado concludes the series against Miami in a Thursday matinee, looking to avoid its 19th sweep of the season, and plays its final home games with a three-game series against the Angels this weekend. Colorado then finishes the year on the road with a trip to Seattle and San Francisco, both of whom are in the hunt for a wild card berth.
