The Colorado Rockies have broken their MLB record streak of 22 consecutive series losses, clinching their first series victory of the season with a 3-2 win against the Miami Marlins. This victory, marked by Hunter Goodman’s impressive third home run in two games, came after the Rockies previously last secured a series win in mid-September 2022 against Arizona. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer expressed relief and happiness for the players, noting the importance of the win despite its late arrival in the season.
Colorado has struggled significantly, holding the worst record in the league at 11-50, and had only managed two consecutive wins prior to this series, with their latest being in late April against Atlanta and San Francisco. Goodman conveyed a positive outlook on the team’s performance, stating that competing well in games is better than not being in contention at all.
Goodman’s notable performance has not surprised his teammates; centerfielder Brenton Doyle praised him, emphasizing his ability to be one of the best hitters when in form. Rockies reliever Seth Halvorsen secured his third save, illustrating the competitive nature of the closing moments of the game, where Doyle made a critical catch to end the match.
Historically, the Rockies are among the few teams to wait so long into the season for their first series win, joining teams like the 1987 Padres and the 1969 Montreal Expos. Before this series, Colorado had an abysmal record of 3-28 on the road and had not won back-to-back games away from home since September 2022. Schaeffer acknowledged the significance of the win and emphasized a focus on moving forward.
