The Rox are rollin.’ And playing like legit playoff contenders.
Riding long-distance home runs from Nolan Arenado and Chris Iannetta, as well as an excellent start from right-hander Antonio Senzatela, the Rockies beat Toronto 5-1 on Sunday afternoon at Coors Field to polish off a three-game sweep.
The Rockies extended their winning streak to a season-high eight games, creating history in the process. They finished the 10-game homestand with a 9-1 record, tying the 2009 club (Sept. 1-10) for their best such run at Coors.
Colorado has posted a 28-15 record since April 14, the second-best record in the National League, trailing only the Dodgers, who lead the National League West.
