Rockies Collapse in Ninth Again

The Rockies’ hopes of a comeback were dashed again as they fell 5-4 to the Cubs, despite a late lead and a big three-run homer from Cole Carrigg. A shaky ninth inning—marked by Juan Mejia’s two runs and two walks, followed by Seth Halvorsen walking in the winning run—exposed the team’s bullpen woes. Even with a solid start from Michael Lorenzen, the Rockies couldn’t hold on, deepening their struggles in a season already defined by inconsistency. Meanwhile, the Cubs, who left 15 runners on base and went just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position, pulled off the win thanks to Shota Imanaga’s strong start and a resilient bullpen. The Rockies remain in last place in their division, with their playoff chances fading fast unless they can fix their pitching and finish games.
