The Colorado Rockies lost the NL West tiebreaker to the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 on Monday afternoon. Rockies pitchers gave up two two-run home runs and an RBI single to pitcher Walker Buehler. The loss means the Rockies are the second NL Wild Card team for the second consecutive season.

Whether or not four strikeouts in an inning is fun depends entirely on what happens with that pesky runner who happened to make it to first base. During the fourth inning on Monday, it wasn’t very fun for the Rockies.
