The Colorado Rockies owned a 20-10 record entering Sunday's road matchup against the San Diego Padres, the best mark in team history through 30 games, per MLB Stat of the Day.

They didn't stop there, notching another victory in the contest to push their mark to 21-10 thus far. The Rockies jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning of the game thanks to a string of hits in the middle and bottom part of the order.

Colorado also received a solid outing from rookie starter Jeff Hoffman, who was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday to make his third career major league start in place of the injured Tyler Anderson on Sunday. Anderson was placed on the 10-day disabled list with left knee inflammation, while Hoffman allowed just one run and notched nine strikeouts over seven innings.

After a five-game road trip concluded Sunday, the Rockies will return to Coors Field to host the Cleveland Indians for two games before heading to Wrigley Field to face the Chicago Cubs with an opportunity to improve their road record further.

The Rockies own the top spot in the NL West by 0.5 games over the Los Angeles Dodgers following Sunday's victory, with the Arizona Diamondbacks trailing by two games. Colorado still awaits the return of prized prospect outfielder David Dahl and catcher Tom Murphy, potentially making the club even more dangerous when it gains full health.
