A three-run home run by Mookie Betts highlighted a six-run sixth inning that gave the Dodgers a two-run lead, but the Rockies responded with five in the bottom of the inning and held on for a 9-8 w…
DENVER — In the age of nine-man bullpens, it’s still possible to be caught short-handed – especially at Coors Field.
But leverage arrives at unexpected times at altitude. Roberts turned to Victor Gonzalez and Nick Robertson to shepherd a two-run lead through the sixth inning. They couldn’t do it, allowing five runs as the Colorado Rockies came from behind to beat the Dodgers, 9-8. Three singles in the second inning produced a run for the Rockies – but it could have been more. C.J. Cron led off with a single and was thrown out at third, appearing to be running at less than full throttle, when Nolan Jones sliced a hit down the third base line against a shifted Dodgers defense.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers didn’t have a hit until the fourth inning against Rockies starter Kyle Freeland – though they drew four walks before Miguel Rojas’ one-out single in the fourth. A bases-loaded walk of Jonny De Luca forced in one run and a broken-bat single by Yonny Hernandez drove in two more.
