The Colorado Rockies are on an upward swing.

Why it matters: Colorado (36-90) may be spared the shame of owning the worst modern record in MLB history.

State of play: If they win six more games, the Rockies ensure they don't match last year's Chicago White Sox, who finished an abysmal 41-121.

By the numbers: The club has posted a 6-4 record over its past 10 games as of Wednesday morning, highlighted by a four game win streak, matching a season best.

The team has won five series since the break after winning only two before it, per the Associated Press.

What's next: The Rockies host the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.
