Rockies go for four-game sweep of Phillies

PHILADELPHIA -- After winning two of three games in each of the first two series on a 10-game road trip, the Colorado Rockies look to close things out in style with a four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Through the first three games of the series, the Rockies have outscored the Phillies 23-5. A 7-2 win on Wednesday night moved Colorado 14 games above .500 (31-17) through 48 games, setting a franchise record while maintaining the best record in the National League.

"This is a tremendous offense," said Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, who went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer in Wednesday night's win.
