Purple Row Newsletter, April 21-25, 2026

Currently, the Colorado Rockies are 11-16. Yes, it’s a below-.500 record. But considering that they did not manage 11 wins until June in 2025, fans will take it.

In the meantime, they took the series opener from the New York Mets and hope to continue winning in today’s doubleheader. Then it’s off to Cincinnati for a three-game set with the Reds.

In the meantime, here’s what happened on Purple Row Last week.
