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.
