The Dodgers’ comeback win over the Rockies in Tuesday’s game was fueled by their resilient performance at the plate, as evidenced by Teoscar Hernández’s game-winning three-run home run in the ninth inning.
Hernández gestured to third base coach Dino Ebel after hitting the homer, which sealed a 11-9 victory for the Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts has praised his team’s “fight” at the plate in recent weeks, citing their ability to battle off pitches and extend at-bats. This trait was on full display during Tuesday’s game.
The focus of the ninth inning was on Walker Buehler’s challenging start, which put the Dodgers in a difficult 9-4 deficit. However, with a bases-loaded grand slam from Jason Heyward followed by a crucial hit from Shohei Ohtani and a pivotal home run from Hernández, the team rallied to claw their way back into the game. Despite facing a significant deficit, they found a way to persevere and ultimately secure their biggest comeback victory of the season.
In total, the Dodgers sent 10 batters to the plate in the ninth inning, recording significant hits and walks to overcome their early struggles and emerge victorious. This resilient performance showcased their determination and ability to fight until the very end, earning them a hard-fought win that will be remembered as one of their most impressive feats this season.
