Rockies finish May with single-digit wins, still on worst start in MLB history [View all]

Every team in the National League finished April with double-digit wins, except for the Colorado Rockies. Somehow, that stat was still true at the end of May.

After two months and 58 games played, the Rockies finished Saturday guaranteed to enter June with single-digit wins. Their record sits at 9-49, keeping them beyond nearly any precedent for the worst start in MLB history.

Their final chance to crack 10 wins came on Saturday against the New York Mets, but a four-run first inning put them on their back foot and no comeback came in an 8-2 loss. Between that and Friday's 4-2 loss, they have already lost another series.

At 9-49, the Rockies could play .500 ball for the rest of the season and still finish with 101 losses. They had the worst April in MLB history, then clinched the worst 50-game start, and now they sit as the first team without double-digit wins entering June in decades. Even on the list of the worst 50-game starts in MLB history, every other team has double-digit wins.

When I used to watch baseball I rooted for the Rockies. From what I used to know they would often have good hitters but it was tough to find good pitchers willing to pitch in the Mile High City but haven't kept up with them or much baseball recently.
