LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit a tying home run in the ninth inning and Mookie Betts followed with a game-ending drive as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday to maintain their three-game lead in the National League West.
Ohtani had four hits and added two stolen bases, giving him 53 home runs and 55 steals on the season.
Leading off the ninth after the Dodgers rallied to within a run, Ohtani lifted Seth Halvorsen's fourth offering, an 89-mph split-finger pitch, over the wall in right-center.
“To start that ninth inning with Shohei continuing to do what he does, he just doesn't seem human right now,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I really haven't seen a player as locked like Shohei is for as long as he's been in quite some time.”
