A pair of mistakes in a pivotal fourth inning by the Colorado Rockies battery made all of the difference between a National League West title (and resting until Thursday) and heading to Chicago for a Wild Card matchup at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night.
A passed ball by Tony Wolters put Max Muncy on base after he had struck out against German Marquez to lead off the fourth inning. The slip-up was enough to extend the inning and Cody Bellinger was happy to take advantage of it, blasting a 1-0 pitch over the right-center wall to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead.
