Colorado Rockies: Stats to know from the recent homestand

The Colorado Rockies just completed an extremely successful homestand, going 9-1 in a 10-game set at Coors Field for just the second time in franchise history.

Of course, it takes a lot of things going well on the mound and at the plate for any team to go 9-1 over a 10-game stretch. The Colorado Rockies had plenty of things go right for them in posting a 2-1 mark against the Baltimore Orioles, sweeping the Arizona Diamondbacks in a four-game series and following that with a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays.

So what were some of the positive statistics that jumped out regarding the Rockies over that 10-game stretch at Coors Field? Let’s take a look.

First, the Rockies had three players hit over .400 on the homestand … and that’s not including pitcher German Marquez who went 3-for-4 at the plate in his two starts with a triple.

Nolan Arenado went 19-for-39 over 10 games (.487 average) and had three doubles, five homers and 17 RBI (yes, 17 over 10 games) for a .949 slugging percentage. David Dahl went 18-for-40 (.450) while Trevor Story posted a 15-for-35 line (.429) with four homers and 11 RBI to help him earn National League Player of the Week honors.

Another good sign was Daniel Murphy heating up. Colorado’s biggest offseason signing posted a 13-for-36 (.361) homestand with nine RBI, the third-highest mark during the 10-game run.

And how about Tony Wolters and Chris Iannetta combining to go 14-for-40 (.350), helping the bottom end of the lineup be productive and carry things over for Dahl, Arenado and Story?

On the mound, Scott Oberg allowed one run and two hits over six innings of work while also notching a pair of saves to fill in for injured closer Wade Davis. Jairo Diaz has also grown into a more prominent role in the back end of the bullpen, throwing 6.1 innings and allowing five hits. Chad Bettis, meanwhile, threw the most innings of any reliever during the homestand, logging seven scoreless frames.

Jon Gray allowed two runs and seven hits in 12 innings spanning two starts (1.50 ERA) to pace the rotation while Marquez allowed 13 hits over 13.1 innings of work.

The 9-1 homestand allowed the Rockies to climb back over .500 and into the thick of the Wild Card race. Certainly they won’t be able to keep up this scorching pace, but it is good to see exactly what this team is capable of producing after such a slow start to the season.
