Getting back on track quickly is important. Here are three reasons why the Rockies must sweep the Diamondbacks in the next few days.
1. The Rockies and Diamondbacks are a half-game apart at the top of the West standings
Sure, the season is really young right now. But as of right now, Arizona has been the hottest team in the division (along with Colorado). If they were to sweep the D-Backs, they would be up 2.5 games up on them heading into an off day on Monday.
So 2.5 games is not much in baseball? That is true, but it could help the Rockies grow their lead later on.
