Rockies off to a historically bad start

• An abysmal 6-28 start this season is giving way to a historic turn, as the Rockies contend for the worst MLB start in 125 years, according to an NBC News analysis of sports data dating back to 1901.

Threat level: At this rate, NBC projects the team will win its 10th game by Memorial Day weekend — roughly three weeks away.

Context: A start this bad has been accomplished twice — by the 1904 Washington Senators and the 1932 Boston Red Sox, NBC reports.

• Both those teams ended the season with more than 110 losses, which looks increasingly likely for Colorado with 100-plus losses the past two seasons.

What's next: The Rockies host the San Diego Padres Friday at Coors Field, which, win or lose, at least remains one of the most walkable ballparks in the majors.
