  • Rockies dominated by Dylan Cease in series-opening loss to Padres, become first team since 1931 Reds to trail in first 23 games
    Denver Post, Monday - 04/22/2024 - 11:10 PM

    With a 3-1 defeat to the Padres in the series opener on Monday at Coors Field, the Rockies joined some bad company.
