The Dodgers fell short in mounting a ninth-inning comeback, losing to the Rockies, 2-1, for their 50th loss of the season. Los Angeles still has two games left to win their 111th game, which would set a new franchise record for winning percentage.
Trea Turner led off the bottom of the ninth with a single, and Freddie Freeman worked a 3-0 count before using his green light to rip a line drive to right field. Unfortunately, Randal Grichuk was able to track down the ball for the first out of the inning. Will Smith followed by flying out to center, and Max Muncy worked a long count before hitting a line drive to center for the third out.
