What happened: A 6-4 loss in Atlanta left Colorado last in the NL West. The club has 27 games remaining.
Why it matters: A 100-loss finish would follow a franchise-worst 43-119 season in 2025, extending Colorado's fight against the threshold. Rumfield's production gives award voters a standout season to weigh despite the club's record.
By the numbers: At 52-83, Colorado must finish at least 11-16 to avoid 100 losses. Its current pace projects to roughly 100 losses over 162 games.
What to watch: Colorado continues its weekend series in Atlanta on Saturday. Rumfield's production and the loss count will remain the parallel races through September.
