They finished 4th in the NL West, 17 games back. They spent 16 of 66 days in first place, led by as many as 1.5 games on August 8 and were as far as 17 games back on September 27. Their best month was August at 13-16, their worst Sept/Oct at 9-16. The longest runs were a 4-game winning streak from July 25 to July 29 and a 7-game losing streak from August 17 to August 23. They were 12-18 at home and 14-16 on the road, 9-8 in one-run games and 9-15 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 10-3 at the Diamondbacks on September 26; the heaviest defeat, 23-5 against the Giants on September 1.

Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

By season

Every home game this season was played with no crowd admitted. The zero is the season, not a missing number — which is why it is shown rather than left out. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

By season

Regulation games only, in minutes. 188 minutes this season.

Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.

Record versus run differential

Colorado Rockies are 26-34, a .433 win rate, while their -78 run differential implies .388. That is about 3 wins ahead of it, usually a mix of bullpen sequencing and one-run luck.
