Finally, the Colorado Rockies have reached and surpassed the .500 mark!

The last time the Rockies tasted the feeling of being over .500 was back on March 29th, just three games into the 2019 season with a 2-1 record. That quickly evaporated when they ended up splitting the opening series in Miami, dropping to 2-2 and falling below .500 after that.

However, after pulling off an amazing four-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon, the Rockies now sit at 28-27 on the season as they head toward the month of June

Here are five signs that this stretch is not a fluke and that we are witnessing the real 2019 Colorado Rockies:

The Rox have been consistently winning for most of the season

Believe it or not, despite just now getting back to around .500, the Rockies have been consistently winning more than losing for most of the 2019 season so far. It is just that their start was so bad, it took a while to overcome it.

We all know that the start of the season was not a good one, as the club went 3-12 over the first 15 games. However, since then the Rox are 25-15 over the last seven weeks, which is one of the top records in all of baseball over that stretch.

On top of that, since losing four of the first five series, the Rockies have won eight of the last 13 series they have played. Remember that a baseball season is a marathon and not a sprint, and that it is impossible to win every single night — however, if you can do what the Rockies have been doing and win more series than you lose, you will end up being a successful baseball team.
