Rockies Avoid Negative Record with Dramatic Victory
The Colorado Rockies secured a crucial victory on Thursday, avoiding setting a new negative record and moving away from the worst start in the modern era of baseball. Orlando Arcia’s two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning secured an 8-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants. This win raises Colorado’s record to 13-55, tying the 1932 Boston Red Sox for the worst historical mark. The Rockies team is aware of the situation, although they are not focusing on it.After a season start with a 9-50 record, the Rockies have shown recent improvement under the direction of interim manager Warren Schaeffer. They have achieved a 4-5 record in their last nine games, breaking a five-game losing streak.We see it, I know it inside out. I think we all know it.

McMahon, who received a walk in the ninth inning and scored the winning run, also commented on the difficult start to the season.I think we’re just playing better baseball. As long as you focus on that when you’re on the field, the record will take care of itself. We can’t recover everything in one day. We have to go step by step, day by day.
Ryan McMahon
Arcia, with a decade of experience in baseball, has been part of winning organizations in Milwaukee and Atlanta, and has participated in the postseason for the last seven years.It was tough, man. I think that almost made it a little easier, because you don’t want to think about it. You want to focus on what you’re doing every day when you get here and try to win more games. Doing what we did today, not giving up, keep fighting. I think, overall, that’s important. You can look back and remember that we’ve come back from situations like this before and that helps you keep going.
Ryan McMahon
We are not focusing on what happened in the past. We are taking it day by day. We are trying to look to the future. I told my people that I came here to do a job, to go out and play and help this team win in any way I can.
