Can't complain about a 5-2 homestand and improving their record to an all-time franchise best 13 games above .500 prior to September. They now head to Florida to face a Marlins team that has at least 10 hits in each of the last 10 games. At the same time the Rockies bats have seemingly awakened having outscored their opponents 44-25 over the past week. The Marlins have only outscored their opponents 69-62 in their past 10 and are 6-4 during that stretch.
Clint Barmes had 4 hits in 16 games between July 21 and August 11--all Home Runs. In the past two games he has 6 hits.
Dexter Fowler went 4 for 5 with 3 doubles in his return after crashing into the center field wall making a catch against the Cubs on Monday night. Carlos Gonzalez emulated Fowler by crashing into eht left field fence after making a catch in the first, and then racing over to the left field foul stands to make another catch in the 2nd inning.
Rockies now have 32 wins at home and 32 wins on the road.
With 10 games remaining against the NL Central the Rockies have clinched a winning record against those 6 teams. They are currently 22-10. Against NL Central teams other than Houston, they are 20-5.
The Rockies will complete their out of division away schedule with the Road trip to Florida and Washington. They still have 13 of their 26 remaining home games against teams outside the NL West. Their final 41 games will be in either the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones.
