While the Los Angeles Dodgers were heralded for trading for Manny Machado during the All-Star break, the reality was a tough road lied ahead. Their second-half schedule began seven consecutive series against teams in postseason contention.
That stretch culminated Sunday with the Dodgers suffering a second consecutive walk-off loss to the Colorado Rockies. Overall, it was a third straight defeat at Coors Field that left them with a 2-4 record on the road trip.
Moreover, the Dodgers now enter Monday one full game back of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and a half-game ahead of the Rockies in the National League West standings.
