Rockies' record ninth straight home loss at Coors Field

The Washington Nationals routed the Colorado Rockies 13-3 on Monday night, as CJ Abrams delivered the go-ahead RBI in a five-run fifth and Daylen Lile homered while driving in five; Cade Cavalli earned the win, continuing a strong chapter after the All-Star break. The performance came as Colorado extended its season-worst seven-game skid, highlighted by Feltner’s rough start and a late surge by Washington. Separately, the Rockies’ struggles at Coors Field intensified into a nine-game home losing streak, the franchise’s longest at the ballpark and tied for the longest home skid in their history. The sting of the weekend was amplified by a 7-2 defeat to the Guardians, aided by a rough start from Tomoyuki Sugano and a parade of Rockies relievers that could not stem the tide. Colorado’s overall home-skid record stood at nine straight losses at Coors Field, marked by a daytime unveiling of Hall of Famer Larry Walker’s statue and a dismal run of games where the team was outscored heavily. Taken together, the skid represents a historic stretch for Colorado, underscoring a need for a significant turnaround as the team hunts to end the skid and regain momentum.
