Wednesday’s defeat dropped the Rockies to 28-80 on the year, pacing the Rockies to finish 42-120. After winning consecutive series at home to start the second half, a suboptimal road trip has the club continuing to flirt with the modern loss record of 121 set by the White Sox last year.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — With less than 24 hours to go before the trade deadline, the Guardians reached the midway point of their season with symmetry and steadiness — a 54-54 record after a 5-0 shutout of the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night at Progressive Field.

Kyle Manzardo had his second career two-homer game and drove in three runs, Brayan Rocchio hit a two-run triple, and the Cleveland Guardians rolled to a 10-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
