The Dodgers’ comeback victory over the Rockies on Tuesday was nothing short of miraculous. With the game tied at 9-9 in the ninth inning, Teoscar Hernández hit a game-winning three-run home run, sealing the deal for Los Angeles.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has been praising his team’s “fight” at the plate recently, and this performance was no exception. The team battled off pitches, extended at-bats, and refused to give up, even when they were down five runs multiple times during the game.
The focus of the ninth inning was on Walker Buehler’s challenging start, which put the Dodgers in a tough 9-4 deficit. However, the team rallied with a bases-loaded grand slam from Jason Heyward followed by a crucial hit from Shohei Ohtani and a pivotal home run from Hernandez. Despite facing a sizeable deficit, the Dodgers found a way to claw their way back into the game.
Hernandez’s homer came on a two-strike count after a controversial check swing call that led to Rockies manager Bud Black being ejected. The Dodgers capitalized on the opportunity, rallying back from being down five runs multiple times during the game.
In total, the Dodgers sent 10 batters to the plate in the ninth inning, recording significant hits and walks to secure their biggest comeback victory of the season. This resilient performance showcased their determination and ability to fight until the very end, earning them a hard-fought win.
