The recent 8-2 run has obviously cut into the deficit in the standings. On June 27th, the Rockies were four games under .500 and 8 games back of the Diamondbacks in the West and 5.5 games back in the Wildcard. Now, they are sitting in a much more manageable 3.5 games out in the West and 4.5 in the Wildcard.
So how did they get there? Lets start with how good the pitching has been. In the 10 games, the Rockies’ starters pitched a total of 62 innings and only gave up a total of 18 earned runs for an outstanding ERA of 2.
