The Rockies managed to lose two games on Thursday by the time most people in Denver had gotten off work. But the losses themselves weren’t the worst news the spiraling club received during its ill-fated doubleheader against the Mets, which dropped them to a league-worst 3–20 in road games. When Jeff Bridich resigned last month, he may as well have planted a white flag for the season on top of Mount Evans for the organization he helped drive into the ground.

The most remarkable thing about the Tampa Bay Rays this season and pretty much every year they are competitive is how much better they would be if they were willing to spend money.
The Rays, who had won 11 straight before losing to the Royals, 2–1, Tuesday night, have surged into first place in the AL East and have greatly improved their odds to return to the postseason for the third straight year. They enter play Wednesday with a 57.4% chance to make the postseason, according to Fangraphs.com, up from 26.6% when the season began. They’ve done so with the fifth-lowest payroll in Major League Baseball, a fact that is pointed out far too frequently as a form of praise.
