Dodgers top wild Rockies, 1st NL team to 110 wins since 1909
Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and the Los Angeles Dodgers became the first National League team in more than a century to win 110 regular-season games, taking advantage of 10 walks to rally past the Colorado Rockies 6-4 on Saturday night.
"I know his baseball card is worth a lot of money - a lot of money," Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner said when asked what he knew about Wagner. "And it recently sold for a lot of money, too." "That's a round number ; it's a big number," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "To celebrate that is a great thing and hopefully we are having this conversation tomorrow with 111. I think our guys are in the moment appreciating it, but we have our eye on some bigger things, too."
With the Rockies leading 4-1 in the seventh, Colorado right-handers Dinelson Lamet and Chad Smith each walked three batters in the inning. The first five Dodgers batters all walked, with free passes to Gallo and Austin Barnes forcing home runs to cut the deficit to 4-3. "When those kind of situations happen, you become even more patient," Freeman said. "That's just kind of our M.O. We're going to work pitchers, we're going to make you throw a lot of pitches. You would think you would get one hit in a situation like that, but we did what we needed to do to tie the game."
