LIVE BLOGGING WITH EDDIE RIVERA | Dodgers Stomp Rockies, 10-1

Victory over Colorado sets franchise single season victory records and gives LA home field advantage for the playoffs

The Los Angeles Dodgers stomped the hapless Colorado Rockies Friday, 10-1, before 52,025 fans, and in so doing, set a new franchise record for the most victories of the season. They also gained the home field advantage for the 2022 playoffs.

The Dodgers did most of the damage in the fourth inning, when, leading 1-0, they scored eight runs, the most in one inning all season, as Cody Bellinger sent a 94 MPH fastball, the first pitch he saw, into the right field bleachers bringing home Lux and Taylor, and opening the floodgates.

Dodger ace Clayton Kershaw took the victory, while the Rockies’ Chad Kuhl fell to 6-11.

The Dodgers play five more games to complete the season before the playoffs begin at home on Tuesday, October 11.
