The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a series win against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night, clinching a 4-3 victory at Dodger Stadium. Mookie Betts provided the decisive moment in the eighth inning, driving in the go-ahead run with a clutch single up the middle.

According to True Blue LA, the winning rally began with back-to-back singles from Tommy Edman and Freddie Freeman, setting the stage for Betts. The veteran outfielder battled through a nine-pitch at-bat against Rockies reliever Antonio Senzatela before delivering the game-winning hit. The victory maintains the Dodgers’ dominance over Colorado, as the team has now gone 14-0-4 in their last 18 series against the Rockies dating back to 2022.

Pitcher Roki Sasaki provided a stabilizing presence for the Dodgers, completing six innings for the first time in his last five starts. Despite giving up two solo home runs early, Sasaki struck out five batters and retired his final nine opponents. The bullpen also played a critical role, with Edgardo Henriquez earning his second win of the series after escaping a high-leverage situation in the eighth inning.

The game also featured a notable performance by Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros, son of former Dodgers star Eric Karros, who added to his career home run tally at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers will now enjoy a scheduled day off before hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday, with Shohei Ohtani slated to start on the mound.
