The Colorado Rockies lost 8-3 to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night to become the first team in baseball's modern era to lose 36 of their first 43 games.

Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia hit opposite-field, two-run home runs and Patrick Corbin struck out six consecutive batters among a season-high nine for the Rangers.

The Rockies became the first team to start 7-36 in the modern era since 1901. They were swept for the seventh time and are 0-3 under interim manager Warren Schaeffer, who replaced Bud Black on Sunday.

The Rangers 23-21 have won five consecutive games to match a season-best winning streak.

Langford homered in a four-run first inning. Garcia homered in the sixth.
