Rockies struggle with pitching as September wears on

The Colorado Rockies continue to face challenges on the mound in September, highlighted by pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano allowing a two-run homer to Fernando Tatis Jr. on September 14. The team's pitching staff holds the highest ERA in the league at 5.59, with a particularly poor showing in September (6.47 ERA). The Rockies' starting rotation has struggled all season, particularly in the early innings, contributing to a painful finish to the year as they approach 100 losses. The bullpen, once a strength, is currently suffering with a 7.66 ERA this month, marking a significant decline in performance compared to earlier in the season.
