DENVER, CO - JUNE 22: Assistant bench coach Ronnie Gideon #53 of the Colorado Rockies and interim third base coach Chad Epperson #81 of the Boston Red Sox talk during batting practice prior to the game between the Boston Red Sox and the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Monday, June 22, 2026 in Denver, Colorado.

In a true race to the bottom, two teams tied for the fewest wins in the entire sport are set to square off in Coors Field tonight with the Red Sox taking on the Rockies. If the Red Sox lose and the Giants beat the A’s later this evening, Boston will stand all alone as the team with the fewest wins in baseball.
On the mound is Sonny Gray, who has actually proved to be the guy most capable of cooking up wins for the Sox this year. He enters the proceedings with an 8-1 record, and the team is 9-4 overall in his 13 starts. If they win tonight, Gray will be responsible for just shy of a third of all the team’s victories this season. (What an amazing acquisition by our fearless leader Craig Breslow!)
For the Rockies, it will be Boston native Sean Sullivan taking the mound. He brings with him a 10.29 ERA and also some history of being at the 2004 Red Sox victory parade as a two-year-old. In other words, on paper this matchup seems to heavily favor the Red Sox, But if you’ve watched this team attempt to play baseball all year, you know that underperforming what’s supposed to happen on paper is kind of the Red Sox’ main thing, so I’m bracing myself for more of that tonight.
