Rockies Lose Fifth Straight at Home

The Colorado Rockies continue to make a mess out of their final homestand of the season. Kevin Millwood was shelled as the San Diego Padres routed the Rockies 8-2 last night to make them 0-5 so far on this seven-game homestand. It’s the first time the Rockies have lost five straight at home since May of 2009, a streak that led to the firing of then-manager Clint Hurdle. The Rockies only managed one hit on the night – a two-run home run by Mark Ellis in the sixth inning to break up Cory Luebke’s no-hit bit. Millwood suffered his shortest outing as a Rockie, departing in the fourth inning after giving up seven runs on nine hits. The Rockies play their penultimate home game of the season tonight, with Jhoulys Chacin getting the start on the mound against San Diego’s Mat Latos. First pitch is at 7:40.
