Sloppy Rockies swept by Braves, lose 20 games in August for first time

The dog days of summer are taking a big bite out of the raw, young Rockies. It isn’t pretty to watch.

The Braves beat the Rockies 7-3 Wednesday night at Coors Field to complete a three-game sweep and send the Rockies to their 11th loss in their last 14 games. Colorado has lost nine in a row and 13 of its last 14 games vs. Atlanta.

The loss also dropped the Rockies to 7-20 this month, marking the first 20-loss August in franchise history. Colorado also went 7-20 in April, which was the first 20-loss April in club history.
