From the Offices of Stats Perform: Cincinnati A Welcomed Sight for Rockies?
Colorado has won 25 of 45 meetings with the Reds since 2013, the Rockies second best record against a team in that stretch.
Neither team has been shut out in the last 44 Reds-Rockies games, the longest active streak between any two MLB teams. The last shutout was a 3-0 Reds home win on June 3, 2013.
Before Wednesday, the Rockies were the only team in MLB that had yet to win a game when scoring four or fewer runs this season, but their 3-2 walkoff win over the Padres in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader put an end to their 25-game losing streak in such games. It was the third-longest such streak in franchise history.
Colorado now has four wins in its last at-bat, but that’s well behind the Reds’ NL-leading total of seven, which includes a 10-inning win in Pittsburgh Wednesday.
The Reds had six all of last season.
Cincinnati leads the NL in scoring with 5.24 runs per game, and a big reason for that is the outfield duo of Jesse Winker and Nick Castellanos.
Matt Adams has gotten off to a rough start to his Rockies career (2-for-19), but he has homered roughly once every 11 at-bats in his career against the Reds.
Both these teams are hitting over 60 points better with runners on base than with the bases empty.
The Reds had six all of last season.
