LOS ANGELES — Chris Taylor blasted a one-out, walk-off home run off Adam Ottavino in the 10th inning on Tuesday night, gut-punching Colorado at the end of a gritty bout that saw the Dodgers increase their NL West lead to a game and a half over the Rockies.
Kyle Freeland and Clayton Kershaw went toe to toe to live up to the hype of an ace showdown, and each bullpen held its own until Taylor’s decisive blast 411 feet to left field off an elevated Ottavino slider sent the Dodger Stadium faithful into a frenzy.
