The Rockies took thirteen innings and nearly all of their roster to defeat the Dodgers in 13 innings on Saturday, but it was a game worth remembering.
Dexter Fowler nearly cost the Rockies the game in the 12th inning, but redeemed himself in the 13th inning with a two-out RBI single off Blake Hawksworth to give Colorado a 7-6 win over the Dodgers Saturday in Denver. It was a wild end to wild game, the Dodgers' longest game of the season at five hours, seven minutes.
Ted Lilly in August has taken the mantle from Hiroki Kuroda as Mr. No Run Support. Lilly has allowed four runs in 21 innings this month, a 1.71 ERA, with four walks and 18 strikeouts. Yet, Lilly is 0-3 in those three starts, thanks to one run of run support. The one run the Dodgers did score came in the ninth inning of a game in which Lilly pitched eight innings.
Ted Lilly looks to continue his strong August as the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their weekend series against the Colorado Rockies Saturday afternoon at Coors Field in Denver.
