Dodgers Secure 4-3 Win Over Rockies on Betts’ Late RBI
Game Recap
The Dodgers edged the Rockies 4‑3, thanks to Mookie Betts’ go‑ahead single in the eighth inning off reliever Antonio Senzatela (8‑1). Betts laced the ball on a two‑strike count, plating Tommy Edman, who had singled and later hustled to third on Freddie Freeman’s double. Los Angeles took two of three to keep Colorado from ending a nine‑year streak without a series win at Dodger Stadium.
Key Performances
Colorado threatened with the bases loaded against Alex Vesia, but left‑hander Edgardo Henriquez (4‑0) got Kyle Karros to fly out for the third out. Tanner Scott locked down the victory with his 13th save of the season. The Rockies’ offense sparked a tie with solo homers from Kyle Karros and Edouard Julien off Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki, plus a crucial sacrifice fly by Mickey Moniak.
Series Implications
Gabriel Hughes opened strong for Colorado, only to give up three runs in the first frame, including a two‑run single by Kyle Tucker. After that shaky start, Hughes retired 15 straight batters, showing the depth of Rockies’ pitching. The Dodgers’ ability to rally late and protect their lead underscores their resilience as they prepare for the upcoming stretch.
Next Up
Colorado will turn to Ryan Feltner (3‑2, 4.27 ERA) to face San Francisco’s Robbie Ray on Thursday, while the Dodgers will rest and have Shohei Ohtani (8‑2, 1.79) slated to take the mound against Arizona on Friday. Both clubs look to build on their recent results as the season progresses.
