Mookie Betts homered and delivered an RBI single in the 10th inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 6-4 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-4 in 10 innings on Wednesday night at Coors Field, completing a three-game sweep. Mookie Betts homered and capped a three-hit night with an RBI single in the 10th inning to break a 4-4 tie and secure the win for the Dodgers, who improved to 77-51 and remain atop the NL West. The Rockies, now 50-77 and fifth in the division, dropped their third straight and extended their home losing streak.
Dodgers’ Late Surge
The Dodgers’ bullpen limited Colorado to four runs across 10 innings, and the offense provided the late push. Betts was the hero, delivering the decisive hit in extra innings after homering earlier in the game. The win extended the Dodgers’ winning streak to three games and gave them a commanding lead in the division. Despite missing key starters Tyler Glasnow and Bobby Miller (both on the 60-day IL), the bullpen held firm, and the lineup produced when needed.
Rockies’ Fight Falls Short
The Rockies battled back to tie the game at 4-4, but could not push across the winning run. Colorado’s offense managed four runs, but it was not enough against a Dodgers bullpen that has been effective all season. The Rockies are now mired in a home losing streak, and their injury list is a concern: Kyle Freeland is day-to-day, and Hunter Goodman and Tyler Freeman are on the 10-day IL. Colorado will look to snap its skid when it hosts the Cleveland Guardians on Friday.
Turning Point: Betts in the 10th
With the game tied at 4-4 entering the 10th inning, Betts stepped up and delivered an RBI single, scoring the go-ahead run. He had already homered earlier in the game, and his three-hit night proved to be the difference. The Rockies had a chance to answer in the bottom of the inning, but the Dodgers’ bullpen shut the door to seal the sweep.
What It Means
The Dodgers continue to roll, winning their third straight and maintaining their grip on first place in the NL West. They return home to face the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday, with a chance to extend their winning streak. The Rockies, meanwhile, are in a freefall, having lost three straight and now facing a home losing streak. They host the Cleveland Guardians on Friday, hoping to turn things around at Coors Field.
