Some defeats sting more than others. You can stick the Rockies’ 5-4 defeat to the Miami Marlins on Monday night at chilly Coors Field into the “ouch” category. Because this was the big one that got away. It ended with Charlie Blackmon lining into a double play to first baseman Tyler Moore. Entering the night with just six games remaining in their regular season and a wild-card playoff spot still far from certain, the Rockies failed to get the job done in the biggest moments and lost for the sixth time in their last eight games. Case in point: After Colorado dramatically escaped a no-out, based-loaded jam in the top of the eighth, Marlins reliever Drew Steckenrider whiffed Gerardo Parra, Ian Desmond and Trevor Story with ease in the bottom of the frame.
