2016 Colorado Rockies season

The 2016 Colorado Rockies season was the franchise's 24th in Major League Baseball. It was the 22nd season the Rockies played their home games at Coors Field. After doing reasonably well most of the season and even posting a 54-53 (.505) record as late as August 3, they collapsed through the months of August and September, going an MLB-worst 21-34 in that span to finish 75-87, third place in the National League West, and missing the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. At the end of the season Walt Weiss resigned his position as manager after 4 seasons at the helm.

Notes

• On May 5, 2016, the Rockies scored 13 runs in the top of the 5th inning in a game against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park. Prior to that game, no team had ever scored that many runs in an inning in that ballpark.^[14] Those 13 runs also set new franchise records for most runs scored in an inning on the road (previously 9 in St. Louis in 2009)^[15] and for most runs scored in any inning (previously 12 against the Cubs in Denver in 2010).^[16] 13 runs also tied the record set by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010^[17] for most runs scored by any team in any inning.^[18]
• On June 20, 2016, in a game against the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park, the Rockies defeated Miami 5–3. All eight runs in the game were scored via a solo home run, which set a new Major League record. The previous record for all runs in a game being scored via solo home runs was 5, accomplished 7 times. The most recent was in 2015 when the Seattle Mariners defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 3–2.^[19]
