You wouldn’t know it by the 6-1 final score, but the Rockies actually had a sliver of a chance to capture a rare victory at Dodger Stadium Friday night.
In the fourth inning, the Rockies tied the game, 1-1, combining a leadoff single by Ezequiel Tovar, a walk by Ryan McMahon, an infield hit by Brendan Rodgers, and a throwing error by Los Angeles third baseman Enrique Hernandez.
With runners on second and third and nobody out, Colorado needed one clutch hit to take charge. But Dodgers right-hander Lance Lynn struck out Elias Diaz and Nolan Jones and then got Michael Toglia to fly out to left.
