Battle for the Bottom: History Is on the Line for the Worst Teams in Baseball
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUN 19 – The Rockies reached a season-high four-game winning streak while the Nationals extended their losing streak to 11 games due to pitching and defensive struggles, officials said.
- On Wednesday, June 19, 2025, the Colorado Rockies won 3-1 against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park, achieving their season-high fourth consecutive victory.
- The Rockies began the year with a historically poor 9-50 start through 59 games, tied with the 1932 Red Sox for the worst 72-game start, leading to the firing of Bud Black on May 11.
- Interim manager Warren Schaeffer oversees a roster blending young prospects, veterans, and bench players, focusing on development amid ongoing struggles and recent modest progress.

- Despite recent wins, the Rockies remain on pace for one of the worst seasons ever, suggesting sustained improvement is needed to escape historic futility.
