An early lead dissolved into the same old story for the Colorado Rockies, who lost their fifth straight game 7-4 to the Miami Marlins last night in the first game of a three-game series at Marlins Park. The Rockies struck for four runs in the top half of the first inning, thanks to a two-run double by Michael Cuddyer and a two-run homer by Troy Tulowitzki, but they would manage just one more hit the rest of the game. The Marlins took the lead for good when Giancarlo Stanton belted a two-out grand slam off of Jamie Moyer in the fourth inning, capping a five-run frame for the home team. The Rockies have now lost nine of their last ten and fifteen of their last nineteen games. They’ll try again to turn it around tonight in Miami.
