A culminating moment for Warming Bernabel, who was doused with ice water, symbolized a shift in the dynamics of the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies secured an exciting victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with a score of 4-3 on Monday night, thanks to Bernabel’s single in the ninth inning. This victory broke a streak of ten consecutive losses against the Dodgers and tied the longest winning streak of the season for the Rockies, with four games won in a row. Since the All-Star break, the Rockies have posted a 14-15 record, while the Dodgers, leaders of the National League West Division, have a 13-15 record. Although the Rockies are still 35 games away from the defending World Series champions, they have avoided the danger of setting a record for losses in the modern era of Major League Baseball. With a record of 36-89, Colorado needs to win six of its last 37 games to avoid the 2024 White Sox record, who finished with a record of 41-121.
The Rockies have won five series since the All-Star break, compared to the two series won before the break.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.

The last time Colorado beat the Dodgers was September 21st. The last time the Rockies beat the Dodgers at Coors Field was June 19, 2024.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.

The Dodgers arrived for the four-game series in Denver after sweeping the San Diego Padres. In the ninth inning, the Dodgers played with their deep outfielders to prevent a double, which ultimately cost them the game. Ezequiel Tovar started a rally with a double that Teoscar Hernández couldn’t catch.It’s good to get a win. We’re playing good baseball right now. We just went out and played clean baseball and played the way we’ve been playing.

Bernabel connected a pitch from Justin Wrobleski and sent the ball to center field to drive in Tovar.It’s a big garden. I tried to make a play. I didn’t do it.

There’s no better way to win a game in baseball than with a walk-off. It’s always fun when that happens.
