There is no getting around it. The Colorado Rockies are playing really good baseball.
The Rockies again got great starting pitching and the offense did enough in Tuesday night's 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Coors Field.
The win pushed the Rockies winning streak to a season-high six games.
Jon Gray pitched seven scoreless innings and allowed only four hits while walking one batter and striking out eight.
The Rockies run of terrific starts is now nearly two weeks old. In the last 12 games, Rockies starters are 8-3 with a 1.55 ERA. In 75-and-a-third innings pitched over that span, that group has allowed 49 hits, 15 runs, 13 earned runs and 15 walks while piling up 78 strikeouts.
Eye-popping numbers, to be sure.
D.J. LeMahieu, fresh off the 10-day disabled list, broke the ice with an RBI single in the third inning to give the Rockies a 1-0 lead.
Gerardo Parra's RBI single made it 2-0 in the fifth.
Trevor Story doubled that lead to 4-0 on a 2-run double in the seventh.
