Colorado ended the series against Milwaukee with a 4-3 win after 11 innings. However, they were unable to keep an opponent scoreless for the 202nd consecutive game . They made MLB history in the process, according to team reporter Patrick Saunders.
"Crazy note from the #Rockies: Rox have gone 202 consecutive games allowing at least one run, the longest streak without a shutout in the Modern Era … surpassed the 1939 St. Louis Browns … the Rockies' previous franchise record was 169 games from April 5, 1993-April 13, 1994," Saunders said.

It was a low-scoring affair as both teams were even at three runs apiece after nine innings. It took until the 11th inning where second baseman Kyle Farmer obtained the game-winning run with a single to center field.
Defense was the main point throughout Sunday's contest. Colorado was assertive with its at-bats, landing 11 hits after 42 attempts. On the other hand, Milwaukee only had six hits after 39 at-bats.
The Rockies' bullpen was solid as they came through in the final innings. Starting pitcher German Marquez had a solid night on the mound after 5.2 innings, striking out five batters while allowing three hits and two runs. The player who got the win was Victor Vodnik , improving his record to 3-2. Tyler Kinley also earned a save, his third of the season.
Colorado improved to a 19-65 record but remain at the bottom of the NL West Division standings. They are 22.5 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks and 26 games behind the San Francisco Giants .
