A Nail-Biting Win for the Dodgers! 
️
What a game, Dodgers fans! The boys in blue eked out a 2-1 victory over the Rockies at Coors Field today. A game filled with tension, strong pitching, and clutch plays saw our Dodgers come out on top. Here’s a recap for those who missed it.
Silence in the Early Innings 
Both teams were unable to get things going offensively in the first few innings. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Teoscar Hernandez were all retired in the 1st inning, and our pitching kept the Rockies at bay with ease.
The second inning, however, brought a bit of a scare as Sam Hilliard homered to right, putting the Rockies up 1-0. Our batting lineup couldn't answer back immediately, unfortunately.
A Clutch Pitching Performance 
Our pitchers came through for us in a big way. Even after Hilliard's homerun, they were resolute. Nick Vesia and Evan Phillips took the mound and kept the Rockies quiet through the middle innings. A special shoutout to Drew Knack and Michael Kopech for keeping their hitters from doing any further damage.
The Epic 8th Inning 
Our moment of triumph came in the 8th inning, with Chris Taylor launching a homer to right center, tying the game at 1-1. Not long after, a succession of events turned the tide in our favor. Austin Barnes reached base with a single, and Shohei Ohtani followed up with another single. Both then executed a double steal, putting them in scoring position. The decisive moment was when a balk was called, allowing Barnes to score and Ohtani to move to third - Dodgers up 2-1!
Closing it Out 
The final innings were nail-biting. Henry Henriquez came in to close out the game and got the job done. Nolan Jones and Jake Cave struck out, and Aaron Schunk grounded into a fielder's choice, getting Hilliard out at second for the final out.
What an incredible finish! The Dodgers' resilience paid off, and the late-game heroics ensured we got that deserved victory.
Great job, Dodgers! Let's keep this momentum as we move forward.
