On Tuesday, after winning the first game of a doubleheader, the Rockies took a three-run lead into the ninth and were one strike from a sweep when the Dodgers' Alex Guerrero blasted a grand slam to dead center for a 9-8 Dodgers victory. Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu called it "one of the lowest points of the season," and this is a season in which the Rockies have endured an 11-game losing streak.
On Wednesday, Chad Bettis' fourth straight solid start (two runs, one earned, in six innings) and Troy Tulowitzki's three-run homer in the fifth gave the Rockies a 4-2 lead that they carried into the seventh.
