Rockies beat Dodgers with a golden play: Bernabel hero

A special moment for Warming Bernabel, who was bathed with ice water. The Colorado Rockies secured a crucial victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a score of 4-3 on Monday night. The victory came thanks to a single by Bernabel in the ninth inning. This triumph marked the end of a streak of 10 consecutive losses against the Dodgers and, in addition, tied the Rockies’ longest winning streak of the season, with four straight victories. Since the All-Star break, the Rockies have performed 14-15, while the Dodgers, leaders of the National League West Division, have recorded 13-15. The last time the Rockies beat the Dodgers was September 21st, and the last time they did it at Coors Field was June 19, 2024.

It’s good to get a win. We’re playing good baseball right now. It’s just going out there and playing clean baseball and playing the way we’ve been playing.

The Dodgers arrived at the series after sweeping the San Diego Padres. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had warned that his team would not underestimate the Rockies.

We are going to get their best. We are prepared for that. But yes, absolutely, teams try to use us as a reference. We see it.

Dave Roberts

In the ninth inning, the Dodgers played with their outfielders further back to avoid a double, which cost them dearly. Ezequiel Tovar started a rally with a double, which Teoscar Hernández couldn’t catch.

It’s a great garden. I tried to make a play. I couldn’t.

Teoscar Hernández

It has to get better out there. There’s no other way to say it. It’s not a lack of effort. But, you know, we have to get better. We will.

Dave Roberts

After Hernandez’s error, Bernabel connected on a Justin Wrobleski pitch, driving in Tovar.

We should have won that game. This is difficult.

Dave Roberts

The Rockies, with a record of 36-89, need to win six of their remaining 37 games to avoid setting a modern-era losing record.

We are at this stage right now where we are trying to improve as a team. We are trying to play the game the right way and do things to put ourselves in a position in the future to get to where some of these teams we are playing against are.

Hunter Goodman

Since the All-Star break, Colorado has won five series, after having won only two before the break.

You definitely see flashes. We’re a very young team. But getting that learning experience and figuring out how to win at this level and how to do it together as a team has been great to see over the last month or so.
