Prior to June 3rd (The start of modern Rockies History, by the way) The Rockies did something 5 times this season, and something they hadn't done since then--until last night. (That's why you pay the big bucks to follow this blog!)
What is it that they did? Have a losing streak carry over into the next series.
Previous times it happened:
April 11-13: Phillies/Cubs
April 19-20: Dodgers/D-Backs
April 22-15: D-Backs/Dodgers
May 7-9: Giants/Marlins
May 31-June 3: Padres/Astros
That's 5 times in 18 series that that happened.
Since then it's been 24 series before it happened again. In other words the Rockies have been pretty consistent in either winning the last game of one series or the first game of the next series. Even the Dodgers have lost last and first 8 times this season.
On the other hand, the Rockies had 4 times early in the season (before June 3) that they won both the last game of one series and the first game of the next series and 11 times after June 3rd.
This marks the 2nd time since June 3rd that the Rockies have lost 3 games in a row. The first time was against the Mets at the end of last month.
Rockies are 4-4 over this 10 game stretch with the NL West Leaders.
