The Rockies’ closest shot at the NL West title feels like a long-off dream.
In the series opener on Monday at Coors Field, the Dodgers made the Rockies look like little brother again in a 9-5 win. Dating back to when L.A. beat Colorado in 2018’s Game 163 to win the divisional title, Monday’s victory improved the Dodgers to 40 games over .500 (72-32) against the outmatched Rockies.
L.A. outhit and outpitched Colorado for the majority of the evening in a game in front of 32,021 as the Rockies were never really in it.
“That’s why they are who they are,” Rockies manager Bud Black said.
