Consecutive losses to the last-place Padres had some people wondering what was going on with the Colorado Rockies. Just as quickly, consecutive wins have the Rockies feeling pretty good about themselves. "We feel as though we're a contending team," manager Bud Black said after the Rockies beat the last-place Padres 7-3 Sunday to salvage a split of a four-game series. "We feel as though we can play with anybody in the National League. We'll see how these next few weeks go. This is good stuff. This is where we want to be. We know we're in a dogfight with the Diamondbacks and Dodgers. We've just got to keep doing it." About an hour after the Rockies won, Los Angeles beat Arizona 3-2. The Dodgers have a one-half game lead over Colorado, with the Diamondbacks another half game back in third. read more http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=380902125
