Haffey/Getty Images Rox aim to snap four-game losing streak After winning seven games in a row, the Colorado Rockies have now lost four straight as they saw their lead on Tuesday drift away. Despite Cal Quantrill’s quality start and Ezequiel Tovar’s first multi-homerun game, the bullpen couldn’t hold the lead as Mason Miller made quick work of the Rockies in the ninth.

When rotation leader Kyle Freeland went down just four starts into the year, the Rockies needed someone to step up. However, it wasn’t just someone ..read more
