Blain Crim homered, Kyle Freeland pitched six strong innings, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-1 in Denver on Sunday to wrap up their home schedule.
Colorado (43-113) passed the 1962 New York Mets, whose 42 wins are the fewest in the NL in the modern era. The Rockies finished the season 25-56 at Coors Field, their worst home record in franchise history.
Victor Vodnik gave up a walk and a single in the ninth before locking down his 10th save for Colorado.
Mike Trout doubled, one of seven hits for Los Angeles (70-86). Cade Dana (0-3) allowed two runs on three hits, struck out five and walked three in a season-high six innings.
Trout led off the game with a double off the wall in right-center field, went to third on a groundout and scored on Jo Adell's single. Adell went to third on Nolan Schanuel's single but Freeland struck out Logan O'Hoppe and Christian Moore to keep it 1-0.
The strikeouts began a stretch of 13 of 14 retired by Freeland (5-16), who fanned seven overall. He allowed a two-out single to Bryce Teodosio in the second but didn't give up another hit until Taylor Ward's leadoff single in the sixth.
One out later he walked Schanuel but got O'Hoppe to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Colorado tied it in the second without getting a hit. Crim and Jordan Beck led off with walks, Crim went to third on Brenton Doyle's flyout to center and scored on a sacrifice fly by Kyle Karros.
It stayed tied until Crim led off the bottom of the fourth with a home run, his fourth of the season. It was the first hit of the game for the Rockies.
Colorado added a run in the eighth when Connor Brogdon walked Mickey Moniak and Ezequiel Tovar, both runners moved up on a wild pitch and Moniak scored on Crim's fielder's choice to third.
