The Dodgers win the three-game series against Colorado when Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts hit back-to-back home runs in ninth inning Sunday.
Depending on how the next week of the regular season goes, the Dodgers could wind up with the best record in baseball, or they could lose the division and face a daunting path through the playoffs. On Sunday, in a pivotal rubber-match game against the lowly Colorado Rockies, the Dodgers took an important — and dramatic — step toward avoiding the latter.
The late rally washed away a forgettable start from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who gave up four runs in three innings while battling poor command, and the Dodgers defense, which failed to execute a couple plays early in the game. The Rockies scored twice when Gavin Lux failed to come up with a well-struck one-hopper in the first, then another when Hernández misplayed a double off the wall in the sixth. For a while, those moments looked likely to be the difference.
