Colorado Rockies OF Carlos Gonzalez keeps his hitting streak alive... again

The Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs will face off in the rubber match of their three-game series here in just another couple of hours, but before they do that, let's do a little news rundown of the last day around the Rox.

And, in something we'll be doing from time to time on Sundays since we have so much content going up throughout every week, enjoy a few good pieces from us over the last seven days that you might have missed.

CarGo's bat, glove provide bright spots in loss — MLB.com

Carlos Gonzalez ended up having a decent game (well, as decent as you can have when your club goes up against a legitimate ace in his home ballpark), but the real story here is Arrieta. Like, specifically this:

Arrieta has now gone 48 2/3 innings without giving up a run at home. The last time a team scored against him at Wrigley Field was on July 25, 2015, vs. the Phillies.

Well, whichever team gets him at Wrigley Field next... have fun!

Bergman happy with spot start despite HRs — MLB.com

Christian Bergman ought to be happy with his highly efficient spot start from Saturday afternoon. He threw the ball very well, did exactly what the Rockies asked of him, and really made just one bad pitch. (I contend that curve ball to Anthony Rizzo wasn't an awful pitch, but one that was hit well by a professional slugger.) Too bad the Rox couldn't pick him up, though.

Richard is back at Rockies Zingers! Here's a fun, long read good for a lazy Sunday morning.

Rockies batting average is tops in baseball, ERA still worst but improving — Mile High Sports

The numbers don't necessarily like the Rockies this year, especially on the pitching side of things. It's early, of course, and that isn't particularly anything you haven't heard countless times before about this team, but, yeah. Hey, they're still above .500 going into today, though!
