Mookie Betts delivered a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning on Wednesday night, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium.
The win marked Los Angeles' second final-at-bat victory in the three-game series, with all matchups decided by one run.
The Dodgers extended their dominance over Colorado, improving to 14-0-4 in their last 18 series against the Rockies since 2022, with a 47-15 record in that span.
Tommy Edman and Freddie Freeman started the eighth-inning rally with one-out singles off Rockies reliever Antonio Senzatela, putting runners on first and third.
Betts then battled through a nine-pitch at-bat, lining a single up the middle to drive home the decisive run.
The late surge came after the Dodgers bullpen escaped a jam in the top of the eighth.
An error and a double off Alex Vesia put two Rockies runners in scoring position with no outs.
Vesia struck out two batters before Edgardo Henriquez entered to record the final out.
Henriquez earned his second win of the series, extending his streak to 11 consecutive appearances without an earned run over 11 2/3 innings.
Senzatela took the loss, allowing three hits and one run in his lone inning.
Los Angeles built an early 3-0 lead in the first inning against Colorado starter Gabriel Hughes, who was making his major league debut.
Kyle Tucker drove in two runs with a single, and a third run scored before Hughes settled in, retiring 15 straight Dodgers through the sixth inning.
However, the early lead evaporated by the third inning against Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki, who surrendered two solo home runs in the second inning, including one to Kyle Karros.
The broadcast call highlighted the significance, as the batter's father, Eric Karros, was calling the game for SportsNet LA.
"A bullet of a home run at Dodger Stadium. You've heard that a couple hundred times," said broadcaster Joe Davis.
"This time it's Kyle."
Sasaki completed six innings, allowing three runs while striking out five before the bullpen took over.
The Dodgers will take Thursday off before opening a home series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night, with Shohei Ohtani scheduled to start on the mound.
