The Colorado Rockies have achieved a significant milestone by ending their record-setting streak of 22 consecutive series losses, a drought that extended back to last season. Their first series victory came on Tuesday night in Miami, where they secured a 3-2 win, bolstered by Hunter Goodman’s impressive performance, including his third home run in just two games. This victory marked a turning point for the Rockies, allowing them to leave Miami with their first series win since mid-September.
Interim manager Warren Schaeffer celebrated the accomplishment, emphasizing its importance for the team: “That was big-time for the boys, to get that first series win.” The Rockies continue to struggle overall, sporting a major league-worst record of 11-50, and this series victory is only their second consecutive win of the season, following two wins against Atlanta and San Francisco in late April.
Goodman expressed optimism about the team’s recent form, noting that being in competitive games feels better than performing poorly earlier in the season. His teammates echoed this sentiment, highlighting his impact: “He’s just raking, and when he’s hot, he’s one of the best hitters in the game,” said centerfielder Brenton Doyle.
Reliever Seth Halvorsen recorded his third save, culminating in a dramatic catch by Doyle at the wall, which almost resulted in a home run. The Rockies now aim for a series sweep on Wednesday, looking to build on their newfound success. The historic feat puts them among just four teams in MLB history to wait until their 19th series to secure a win. Schaeffer remarked, “Now we just move forward,” signaling a hopeful outlook for the team’s future.
