CHICAGO — Unfortunately, this is not an April Fools joke.
The Colorado Rockies have had a rough start to the 2024 season — and it's been especially tough for one outfielder.
Nolan Jones committed two errors in Colorado's loss to the Cubs Monday for his fourth of the early season, the most of any MLB player.
Both of Jones' errors came on the same play in the sixth inning. He let a ball roll past him in left field, then made another error attempting to throw it back to third base.
That one play resulted in three runs for Chicago, which went on to win 5-0 and deal Colorado its first shutout of the year.
The Rockies fell to 1-4 on the season with the loss and remain at the bottom of the NL West standings. They haven't had a record over .500 since April 1, 2023 -- a year ago.
Colorado and Chicago return to Wrigley Field for the second of a three-game series at 5:40 p.m. (MT) Tuesday.
