Los Angeles — Trayce Thompson hit a walk-off home run for the Los Angeles Dodgers that barely cleared the left-field fence with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, halting the Colorado Rockies comeback and securing a 4-3 victory in the second game of the series.
Rockies’ starter Eddie Butler got off to an abhorrent start, allowing the first five batters he faced to reach base, including two walks and a home run (Justin Turner) to start the game and immediately put the Rockies in a 3-0 deficit. Remarkably, especially considering this also all came on the heels of his last outing which saw him dinged for eight runs, Butler settled down … like way down.
