What the Dodgers hoped was a drought-busting, six-run, eighth-inning rally in New York on Wednesday looked more like a mirage Friday night, their bats going back into sleep mode for most of a 4-1 loss to the last-place Colorado Rockies before a crowd of 47,542 in Dodger Stadium.
An offense that showed signs of life during a three-game sweep of the Mets managed just one run and four hits in seven innings off Rockies starter Dakota Hudson, a 29-year-old right-hander who entered with a 1-7 record and 5.54 ERA in 10 starts this season and did not throw a pitch harder than 91.
