2023 Colorado Rockies season
Major League Baseball team season
The 2023 Colorado Rockies season was their 31st in Major League Baseball and 29th season at Coors Field . Bud Black returned as Manager for his seventh year in 2023. The Rockies failed to improve on their 68–94 record from the previous season. They ended up finishing the season with the worst record in the National League at 59–103 (.364) due to a leaky defense despite scoring more runs than the playoff-bound Miami Marlins .
On September 26, the Rockies hit the 100 loss mark for the first time in franchise history after a loss to the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.

Regular season
June
On Saturday, June 24, the Rockies lost to the Los Angeles Angels in a 1-25 blowout , during which the Angels set new franchise records for both runs scored and hits recorded in a single game. The result was the worst upset in Rockies history, and the 13 runs allowed by Colorado in the 3rd inning is unmatched in the club's record.
Although the Angels outscored the Rockies by a run total of 32-12 over the course of the series, Colorado was victorious in the games played on Friday, June 23, and Sunday, June 25. This -20 run differential currently stands second only to the -23 recorded by the Louisville Colonels in their June 1897 series against the Chicago Colts as the worst run differential by a series-winning team in MLB history.
