Colorado Rockies quietly reach major milestone

Reality check: Colorado (45-68) will likely still finish with another losing record.

Yes, but: Even so, there's a semi-decent chance of witnessing a Rockies victory at Coors Field.

• The team has only the 8th-worst home record in the majors.

The latest: Here's what else the team is up to just past the season's halfway mark:

• The Rockies traded outfielder Brenton Doyle to the White Sox in exchange for two prospects just before the Monday trade deadline.
• Doyle has been hurt and ineffective in 2026, and his departure gives rookie sensation Cole Carrigg room to shine, writes Axios Midwest Editor Tyler Buchanan.
• All-star catcher Hunter Goodman is enjoying a phenomenal season, leading the team in home runs (33) and RBIs (66).
• His name was floated as a potential trade option, but that didn't materialize.

💭 My thought bubble: We won't see playoff baseball in Denver, but it's fun to see them win like this after last season's calamity.

What's next: The Rockies host the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday evening.
