After an abysmal April, the Colorado Rockies were mentioned by many in the same breath as the Oakland A’s as the ultimate bottom-feeders of Major League Baseball for the 2023 season. It was a wretched month – the team posted a 7-20 record and negative-62 run differential, after all – but May has been a much stronger showing from the club, bringing the team at least closer to the mean with a 19-25 record before their recent three-game beatdown at the hands of the Texas Rangers.
There are multiple areas of the club that have attributed to this improvement – Ezequiel Tovar put together the best stretch of his season so far to lead the team to a hot start at the beginning of the month before Brenton Doyle took-off for a 343 wRC+ against the Cincinnati Reds to guide Colorado to a series win.
