The Rockies reached a new low point on Thursday.

They fell in extra innings for the second time in three days to the Marlins, 5-4 in the 10th inning. It secured their spot at the bottom of the NL standings and set them on a record-breaking losing pace.

Colorado’s on pace for 127 losses this year. It would be the most in a season in major-league history’s modern era. The 1962 Mets went 40-120 and will see their season bested by the Rockies if their downward spiral continues.

Here’s a breakdown of the losing series, and the moments that mattered most:

The Moment

— Bryan De La Cruz and Dane Meyers catalyzed Miami’s five-run comeback against Justin Lawrence, so it was only right that the two ended the game in the 10th with a walk-off against Jalen Beeks.

De La Cruz walked in the ninth, then doubled in the 10th to give Miami back the run it lost in the top of the frame. Just as he had the inning prior, Meyers singled in a crucial run — this time the winning one.

He took a changeup into right field to score De La Cruz for a walk-off win. It completed the Rockies’ worst loss of the season and came against the only club that had won fewer games than them coming into the series.

Now they’re in the National League cellar alone.

“We shot ourselves in the foot a little bit with the two hit-by-pitches,” manager Bud Black said. “Innocently started with a ground-ball base hit, and things got away from us.

”Hard-fought game, both sides.”

Takeaway

— Ryan Feltner and Chad Kuhl don’t share many pitching similarities but nearly overlapped in Tuesday’s series opener.

The former went into the ninth inning against Miami with a five-run lead, 79 pitches, and a chance for the Rockies’ first complete-game shutout since the latter did so in 2022. Instead, he was part of the club’s worst loss in a season full of them.

A leadoff single started the damage before Feltner hit Christian Bethancourt with a pitch. A Luis Arraez double ended the shutout chance, and the starter’s day altogether. A pair of relievers ensured the Miami effort continued, and the Rockies became the first club in the modern era to score five-plus runs in the first inning before allowing just as many in the ninth.

“I just feel like I let the team down,” Feltner said after. “I’ve gotta finish that ninth inning out. I’ve never been in a position like that before, now I’m hungry to get back there to the ninth and finish it out next time.”

It showed his ability to be Colorado’s best arm once again.

No pitcher on the staff has the same high-velocity fastball in their everyday arsenal, and Feltner has shown an ability to strike out hitters at the team’s highest rate — nearly a hitter per inning (8.9 per nine innings), which is a distant first ahead of Austin Gomber’s (6.2 per nine innings).

The Rockies need him to keep simplifying things. His first opportunity at a ninth inning, and shutout, sank him. They hope a calmer approach next time will get him over the final hump.

What went right

— Jordan Beck needed two pitches to enter his name in major-league history.

He watched a first-pitch ball, then singled on his second pitch from Miami’s Sixto Sánchez to give him an inaugural hit in his debut. The league’s No. 73 prospect did it again in the sixth inning to complete a two-hit start to his career.

The first hit was part of a five-run first inning for the Rockies. It was one of the lone highlights of a series sweep to the Marlins who entered it as the NL’s worst club.

Colorado took Beck with the 38th pick in the 2022 draft. He ascended quickly and nearly made the team’s 26-man roster out of spring training. A call-up after less than a month is tough to complain about. His family in Miami’s stands made it even better.

“(Pedro Lopez) said ‘You’re just not hitting for me anymore son, you’re going to the big leagues,’” Beck said of his call-up surprise from his Triple-A skipper. “That was a pretty special moment, and I obviously got on the phone with my parents right after.”

What went wrong

— The Rockies are making a hard sport harder with how they have played in 2024.

Look no further than the ninth inning of Thursday’s sweep-clinching loss. Brendan Rodgers singled to open the frame. Beck followed him up with an infield single, and the Rockies had two runners on with no outs.

Jake Cave sacrificed himself with a bunt, and Miami pitcher Anthony Maldonado threw it into left field to allow an avenue for Rodgers to score the go-ahead run without a Colorado hit. Instead, he stopped halfway down the line, Beck didn’t, and the Rockies failed to score a run despite immense traffic.

In Tuesday’s loss, batters getting on base with a walk or hit-by-pitch led the Marlins’ five-run comeback. Wednesday, it was much of the same, albeit with the added challenge of getting a third out — Miami scored all four of its runs with two outs in the loss.

Errors, walks and strikeouts have plagued Colorado in nearly every game. It’s forced an already-talent-deprived roster to overcome its miscues, on top of opposing teams. The results haven’t been sparkling.

What’s up next

— The Rockies will finish their eight-game road trip with a three-game set in Pittsburgh. The trip started in Mexico City and will now pit Colorado against a club it went 2-4 against in 2023.

Colorado is 0-5 through the first five games of the trip.

Marlins 5, Rockies 4 (10)

What happened: Jesús Sánchez sent a 10th-inning fastball from Jalen Beeks past a diving Jordan Beck to hand the Rockies their 14th loss in their last 17 games and another sweep.

On the mound: Peter Lambert drew the start, but Ty Blach had the longest outing. Lambert lasted 3 1/3  innings and allowed four earned runs on five hits and three walks. Blach replaced him, threw four scoreless innings and allowed three hits. Justin Lawrence also threw two scoreless frames before Jalen Beeks allowed a walk-off single to end the sweep.

At the plate: Jacob Stallings did most of Colorado’s damage with a three-run home run in the second inning. He and Brendan Rodgers finished with two hits apiece as part of the Rockies five. They struck out 16 times, including nine against Edward Cabrera in his four-inning start. A 1-for-11 mark with runners in scoring position compounded the whiffs.

What’s next: Colorado Rockies (RHP Cal Quantrill, 0-3) at Pittsburgh Pirates (LHP Martín Pérez, 1-1) at 4:40 p.m. on Friday at PNC Park (Rockies.TV).
