The Colorado Rockies entered the week having lost 10 straight games to the Los Angeles Dodgers. After taking two of the first three contests, the Rockies can win the four-game series and finish their homestand with a 6-2 record if they defeat the Dodgers again on Thursday afternoon in Denver.

The Padres series seemed to awaken the Dodgers as a whole, writes Rowan Kavner at Fox Sports. The Dodgers brought some much-needed intensity to the field against San Diego, and despite yesterday’s loss to the Rockies, they’re planning to keep that energy for the rest of the season.
