What happened: The Rockies asked fans to repost a team post for a chance to win a City Connect jersey, the latest in a series of City Connect giveaways Colorado has run this season. The promotion comes as Colorado hosts Cincinnati, with first pitch still to come and the score 0-0.
Why it matters: The giveaway carries no competitive stakes on its own, but it lands during a stretch where the Rockies need fan engagement more than most clubs in the league. Colorado sits at 35-54, seventh-worst mark in MLB, and has dropped its last two games.
By the numbers: Colorado is 35-54 this season, 3-2 in its last five games before the current two-game skid, scoring 4.7 runs per game while allowing 5.7.
What to watch: The Rockies and Reds play with first pitch still ahead Friday at Coors Field.
