UPDATE: The Colorado Rockies have just broken a 10-game losing streak against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a thrilling 4-3 walk-off victory at Coors Field on September 25, 2023. In a dramatic ninth inning, Warming Bernabel clinched the win with a clutch single, igniting celebration among teammates and fans alike.
This win marks a significant moment for the Rockies, who have struggled throughout the season. With this victory, they have also tied their season-high winning streak at four games. Notably, the Rockies are now 14-15 since the All-Star break, showing a marked improvement in their performance.
In the ninth inning, the Rockies faced pressure but rallied back. Ezequiel Tovar kickstarted the action with a bloop double, setting the stage for Bernabel’s game-winning hit against Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski. “There’s no cooler way to win a game in baseball than a walk-off,” said All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman, reflecting the team’s newfound momentum and spirit.
While the Rockies still trail the NL West-leading Dodgers by 35 games, this victory is pivotal. Their current record stands at 36-89, and with only 37 games left in the season, Colorado needs to secure six wins to avoid breaking the modern MLB record for losses, previously set by the 2024 Chicago White Sox at 41-121.
Goodman emphasized the importance of this win, stating, “We’re trying to play the game the right way and do things to put us in a position in the future.” The Rockies have shown resilience and growth, winning five series since the All-Star break compared to just two series before. “You definitely see flashes,” Goodman noted, highlighting the potential of this young team.
The Dodgers, fresh off a sweep against the San Diego Padres, entered this four-game series prepared for a challenge. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the Rockies’ determination, stating, “We’re going to get their best. We’re prepared for that.”
With the Rockies finding their footing at this critical juncture, fans are left wondering if this victory is a turning point. The upcoming games will be essential as they strive to build on this momentum and avoid a historically poor season. Stay tuned for more updates as the Rockies continue their fight for improvement in the final stretch of the season.
