The Rockies, whose 9-49 record is the worst in the modern era through 58 games, are the first team in history to open a season with 19 straight series losses. Colorado has lost a major league-record 22 straight series dating back to last September.Brett Baty had a bases-clearing triple off Antonio Senzatela (1-10) in a four-run first inning, which Tyrone Taylor capped with a single. Brandon Nimmo and Soto homered on consecutive pitches in the fourth.

Soto was serenaded with chants of “JUAN SO-TO” from fans in the right field seats in the top of the fifth, when he turned and raised his arms in acknowledgment.Jeff McNeil homered in the eighth.Kodai Senga (6-3) allowed two runs on two hits over 6 2/3 innings. He retired a career-high 17 straight batters between Ezequiel Tovar’s one-out homer in the first and Tovar’s walk leading off the seventh.

Thairo Estrada chased Senga with an RBI single.Senzatela, the first pitcher to reach 10 losses this season, allowed seven runs in four innings.

Soto’s 404-foot blast was his first homer since May 9. The $765 million outfielder entered Saturday hitting just .143 with two extra-base hits in his previous 17 games.

The Rockies haven’t led at the completion of an inning since the first inning last Sunday, when they were ahead of the New York Yankees 2-1.The Thunder have had long breaks between games during the playoffs the past two years, with mixed results.

They swept the New Orleans Pelicans in last year’s first round, thenin Game 1 of the conference semifinals after waiting eight days between games. The Thunder eventually lost that series 4-2.

After this year’s series against Memphis, the Thunder were in a similar situation. Denver’s first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers went seven games, so Daigneault gave the players some extra rest since there were nine days between games. The focus for the team was less on an opponent at first and more on fine-tuning his team’s issues.“I mean, really just reinforcement of fundamentals,” he said heading into the Denver series. “The game defensively is going to come down to transition D (defense), it’s going to come down to individual D, help D, coverage, communication, closeouts, rebounding. So we’re looking at the series through that lens. And then offensively, (we’ll take) all the fundamentals on that end of the floor that transcend each coverage and pull it up.”
