DENVER — After getting swept in Los Angeles, Colorado dropped 2½ games behind the Dodgers and had an off day before three games in Arizona. The Rockies held a team meeting.
“You’ve got two options: You can sit at your locker and cry about it, or you can flush it out and show up the next day, continue to win games,’” outfielder Carlos Gonzalez recalled.
David Dahl homered for the fourth straight game, and the Rockies opened a one-game NL West lead with a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday that extended their winning streak to seven.
