  "account": "DENVER (AP) — Colorado Rockies experienced their fourth consecutive season with a losing record of 100 games or more on Tuesday, marking a significant low in the franchise's history. The team fell 7-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks, behind the pitching of Nolan Arenado and Michael Soroka. It was the first time since the New York Mets went through the same ordeal in 1962-65 that a club endured four consecutive seasons with 100 losses or more. Despite having a winning streak earlier in the season, the Rockies have been struggling, with a major league-worst record of 220-423 since the start of the 2023 season. The team's ERA of 5.57, the highest in the majors since 2022, has been a recurring issue. With a playoff appearance as the only bright spot since 2010, the Rockies have been in a slump, facing formidable opponents like the Dodgers and Padres. The team's turnaround came with the addition of rookie first baseman TJ Rumfield and All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman, but the road to redemption remains a challenging one.",
