Dodgers Mound Collapses Nine Points at 'Pitchers' Grave'...Shocking come-from-behind defeat to last place Colorado
The LA Dodgers were hit by the last-place Colorado Rockies.
The LA Dodgers lost 8-9 in the second game of three consecutive away games against the Colorado Rockies in 2023 Major League Baseball at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado on the 29th .
The Dodgers failed to win consecutive games and remained in third place in the National League West. 44 wins and 35 losses in the season. On the other hand, Colorado, the lowest-ranked team that avenged its defeat the previous day, had 32 wins and 50 losses.
It was Colorado's starting point. In the second inning, C.J. Cron was out after trying to force a third base when surprised Jones' deep left-handed hit after a heavy hit, but Jones moved to second base in the meantime, and Harold Castro, who appeared from second base with two outs, broke the 0 balance.
In the third inning, Ezekiel Toba and Ryan McMahon set the table for first and second base with consecutive hits after one out. Elias Diaz struck out, but Cron hit a timely RBI that ran away, and Randall Grichuck succeeded in a timely RBI that ran away with Jones' walk. 4-0 Colorado lead. 토토
The Dodgers launched a big counterattack in the fourth inning. With Will Smith and Miguel Vargas' walk and Miguel Rojas' heavy hit, Jonny Deluca's walk and Jonny Hernandez's two-run timely hit made a 3-4 under-the-table chase. Mookie Betts then led the 6-4 turnaround by hitting a three-run shot over the left wall. Betts has achieved 20 home runs in the past three consecutive seasons with this home run.
Colorado did not back down. The sixth inning was the promised inning. After one out, Grichuck hit, pinch hitter Jorge Alparo doubled, and Brenton Doyle was on the bases with a walk. Jurickson Profa then got a walk against the changed pitcher Nick Robertson, and Toba hit a double that swept three RBIs in a come-from-behind manner with the bases loaded. Colorado not only ended up with this, but also drove Diaz's one-run timely hit to seal the victory.
The Dodgers recovered two runs in the eighth inning with Hernandez's sacrifice fly and Freddie Freeman's one-run timely hit following hits by leadoff Jason Hayward and David Peralta, but it was not enough to tie the score.
The Dodgers' starter Michael Grove stepped down with eight hits, two walks, three strikeouts and four runs in five innings, while Victor Gonzalez, who allowed two hits and three runs in ⅓ innings, became a losing pitcher. Betts' three RBIs and two walks didn't shine to the loss.
Colorado starter Kyle Freeland was also shaken by four hits (one home run), five walks, seven strikeouts and six runs in five innings. The winning pitcher is Jake Bird. In the batting line, Toba, Cron, and Grichuck led to a come-from-behind victory by hitting multi-hits.
