The Colorado Rockies ended their MLB record-setting streak of 22 straight series losses Tuesday night, a bright spot in what has been a miserable and mortifying 2025 campaign.
The streak, which dates back to last season, concluded with a narrow 3-2 win over the Miami Marlins thanks to Hunter Goodman’s eighth-inning go-ahead solo home run — his 10th of the season and third in the last two contests.

The win came in front of an announced crowd of 7,583 at loanDepot Park in Miami. Tyler Freeman had three hits and Jordan Beck two as the Rockies tied the game in the fifth inning on Beck’s RBI single and Thairo Estrada’s sacrifice fly.
The win Tuesday marked only the second time the Rockies have won consecutive games in 2025; they defeated the Atlanta Braves on April 30 and the San Francisco Giants the following day. It’s also the Rockies’ first series win since defeating Arizona in two of three games last September. Colorado will go for a sweep on Wednesday afternoon.
Not much has gone right this season for the 11-50 Rockies. They have been swept in 10 of 20 series so far — most recently against the New York Mets. The mark ties them with the 1962 Mets, 1970 Milwaukee Brewers and 1994 Oakland Athletics for the most sweeps through their first 20 series.
Colorado is averaging 3.16 runs per game this season, which is last in the league, trailing the Pittsburgh Pirates (3.18). That number has dropped slightly since the last week of May, when Colorado averaged 3.2 runs. The Rockies are second in runs allowed this season with 6.14 per game, per Stat Muse, which only slightly trails the Athletics’ 6.17 runs per contest.
Victor Vodnik, who came off the injured list in mid-May, worked 1 1/3 innings of relief for the win Tuesday night, retiring three pinch hitters to earn the win. The Rockies rank 19th in bullpen ERA (4.05), which isn’t the greatest but isn’t the worst, either.
Colorado is the fourth team since MLB expansion in 1961 to go 18 series before recording their first series win in a season. With the two wins in Miami, the Rockies are 5-28 on the road.
After the series finale in Miami on Wednesday, Colorado will start a six-game homestand with three games against the National League East-leading Mets before a series with the Giants.
