The Colorado Rockies<\/a> are still searching for their elusive 10th win of the 2025 campaign. However, they have been playing more competitive games. They played three against the Chicago Cubs<\/a> (35-22, 2nd in the NL) and were only outscored 9-5. One of the games went into extras, just the fourth time this season (the Rockies are 0-4 in extra-inning affairs). They\u2019re still losing games, but there have been incremental improvements and overall the vibe feels much more positive. Hopefully they are able to turn things on and perhaps have a June anti-swoon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, here\u2019s what our writers were up to this week:<\/p>\n
