Pitching at Home
The Rockies pitching did a job on the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend. They sweep the series with a 5-3 win today, allowing just seven runs in the three games. The Blue Jays came into the series with one of the best offenses in the majors. Shutting them down for three games at Coors makes one sit up and take notice.
With this performance today, the Rockies home ERA drops to 4.03, below their 4.08 road ERA. Both marks are excellent for this team. I never thought this kind of success was possible at Coors, but the Rockies developed a pitching staff that lived and breathed the altitude, and at the moment it's working out well for them. The staff has only allowed 20 home runs in 23 games in the mile high city.
