The curse was finally broken in San Diego for the Colorado Rockies on Friday night. Thanks to a 4-2 victory, the Rockies snapped a six-game losing streak as well as a 41-inning scoreless stretch in San Diego. With 41 wins, the Rockies are now guaranteed to avoid sole possession of the worst record in MLB’s Modern Era.

A check of the Rockies’ misery index shows that they have lost 18 of their last 22 games, and their run differential is minus-394. The Rockies have blown past the modern-era record of minus-349, set by the 1932 Boston Red Sox.

The Padres hit 4 home runs, breaking out of their most recent slump to beat the Rockies 11-3 and drop their playoff-clinching Magic Number to 10.

The Rockies placed Dollander on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a patella tendon strain in his left knee.
