The Rockies pitching staff, through five games in the Rocktober streak, had an ERA of 3.60. They only average 5.6 strikeouts per nine innings so they weren’t particularly overpowering but they were still pitching well. They only allowed an average of two walks per nine innings as well.

The numbers for the offense, however, were mind boggling. In the first five games of the streak, they averaged eight runs per game. Eight! They averaged 13.4 hits per nine innings, 14 doubles (nearly three per nine innings), and 13 home runs (nearly three per game).

Even more mind boggling was their offensive slash line: a .372 batting average, a .430 on-base percentage, and a .667 slugging percentage.

After this game, the Rockies would go on the road and the rest of the wins in the streak happened on the road. They would head to San Diego and they would head to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers again.
