These Rock­ies are not those Rockies.

Those Rock­ies opened the sea­son 11–3 by doing most every­thing right — key hits at key times, sol­id pitch­ing from starters and reliev­ers with crisp fielding.

But these Rock­ies have lost five of their last six games after falling 6–4 to Texas on Sat­ur­day night at Coors Field. After win­ning their first five series of the sea­son, they have now lost the last two.

These Rock­ies bat­ted 1‑for-13 with run­ners in scor­ing posi­tion Sat­ur­day night and left Trevor Sto­ry strand­ed after he hit a triple and a pair of doubles.

Col­orado made things inter­est­ing in the ninth on Ryan McMahon’s RBI dou­ble to score Raimel Tapia, who reached on catcher’s inter­fer­ence by Jose Trevi­no. But Rafael Mon­tero struck out Tony Wolters, got Gar­rett Hamp­son to fly out and struck out Sto­ry to end the game.

The Rangers clinched the game on Derek Dietrich’s three-run homer off reliev­er Car­los Estevez in the eighth. Estevez gave up four hits in the inning.

Ger­man Mar­quez, the Rock­ies’ No. 1 starter, was far from dom­i­nant and had to deal with a lot of traf­fic, but made pitch­es when he had to keep­ing Col­orado in the game. Across six innings, the Rangers rapped out nine hits vs. Mar­quez but scored just three runs (two earned), going 2‑for-13 with run­ners in scor­ing position.

Texas scored twice in the fifth to take a 3–2 lead, uti­liz­ing an RBI sin­gle by Shin-Soo Choo and tak­ing advan­tage of a throw­ing error charged to third base­man Nolan Are­na­do. Are­na­do snared Willie Calhoun’s line dri­ve and attempt­ed to dou­ble-up Isi­ah Kin­er-Fale­fa at first for the dou­ble play. Arenado’s throw short-hopped first base­man Daniel Mur­phy, who couldn’t han­dle the throw.

Mar­quez escaped major trou­ble in the third, fourth and sixth innings, using the dou­ble play as his escape route.

In the third, Cal­houn chopped the ball to Are­na­do at third, who tagged out Choo in a run­down then threw out Cal­houn try­ing to advance to sec­ond. It was your basic 5–2‑5–4 dou­ble play.

In the fourth, Mar­quez walked two straight to open the inning but deft­ly field­ed Dietrich’s hot smash back to the mound, turn­ing it into a more con­ven­tion­al one-six-three dou­ble play to end the inning.

In the sixth, Are­na­do snuffed out the threat by field­ing Elvis Andrus’s grounder, tag­ging Rougned Odor as he tried to advance to third and then fired across the dia­mond in time to nab Andrus at first.

Col­orado actu­al­ly led the game, 2–0, in the sec­ond inning on a walk by Matt Kemp, sin­gle by McMa­hon and a two-run dou­ble by catch­er Wolters, who snapped out of a 1‑for‑9 funk.

The Rock­ies tagged on a run in the eighth when Char­lie Black­mon led off with a triple to snap an 0‑for-11 skid and then scored on Arenado’s sac­ri­fice fly.

The Rangers will look to sweep the three-game series Sun­day after­noon at Coors.
