Ten games into the 2019 season, last year’s National League West tiebreaker — in which the Rockies were nine innings from undoing Los Angeles’ vice grip on the division — feels like a long time ago.
The Dodgers underscored that gap between then and now again Sunday, embarrassing Colorado on national television with a 12-6 win to beat the Rockies for the eighth straight time dating back to last season.
Adding insult to the three-game sweep was an oblique tweak to outfielder David Dahl, who was lifted from the game in the third inning after noticeably grimacing following a strikeout.
