Rockies sweep Phillies to open 1-game lead in NL West over Dodgers

Destiny resides with the Rockies, and they took care of it Thursday afternoon with a 5-3 victory over the Phillies, sweeping the four-game series.

But not without some sweaty palms and rapid heartbeats in the eighth inning at Coors Field when Adam Ottavino gave up a two-run home run before striking out the side.

Closer Wade Davis struck out the side in the ninth for the save as Colorado claimed its seventh consecutive victory. Solo home runs by the sizzling David Dahl, Trevor Story and Gerardo Parra, and a group effort on the mound, got the job done for Colorado.
