Comment on Rockies lose season finale to Dodgers on eighth-inning balk

Rockies lose season finale to Dodgers on eighth-inning balk

The Rockies’ finale was grand. Until it wasn’t. The Dodgers beat the Rockies, 2-1, Sunday afternoon, on, of all things, an eighth-inning balk. The Rockies held a 1-0 lead entering the eighth but couldn’t close the deal. Chris Taylor led off with a homer to right off Victor Vodnik to tie the game.  Austin Barnes and Shohei Ohtani followed with back-to-back singles and then pulled off a double steal. In came possible future closer Seth Halvorsen, but he was called for a balk when he slipped on the mound while pitching to James Outman and Barnes trotted home with the go-ahead run. The Rockies’ season ended with a three-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, and with a 61-101 record, their second 100-loss season in a row.
