The Los Angeles Dodgers are gunning for their second straight sweep against a last-place team tonight, and their bats are absolutely on fire. They just ripped the Colorado Rockies for 11 runs, setting up a chance to finish the series clean at Coors Field. That Wednesday game is also the very last time these two teams will face off in 2026.
Dodgers Running Wild On The Rockies
Look, the Dodgers straight-up own the Rockies. They have been an absolute problem for Colorado, going 9-3 against them this year alone. If you zoom out a bit, the Dodgers are an insane 50-15, a .769 win percentage, against the Rockies in their last 65 games going all the way back to 2022. That’s some serious domination. The last time the Dodgers even lost a series to Colorado was back in 2022, when they dropped two out of three at Coors Field not once, but twice, from April 8-10 and June 27-29. Since then? They have swept the Rockies eight times, with six of those at home and two right there in Denver. Teoscar Hernández celebrating his sixth-inning triple pretty much sums up how these games have been going.
Colorado’s Long Climb Ahead
Alright, let’s talk about the Rockies. They are sitting dead last in the National League with a 50-76 record and a dismal -120 run differential. Only the Athletics in the American League have it worse. They’re technically “improving” though, having already won seven more games than their entire 2025 season total of 43 victories, and there are still five and a half weeks left. But let’s be real, they are a franchise in transition. While they are moving forward, the path to actual contention is a long one for them, especially when a team like the Dodgers rolls into town and puts up double-digit runs.
The Bats Woke Up Big Time
After what felt like an eternity, a month and a half of some offensive malaise, the Dodgers’ bats have exploded. They conveniently dropped seven runs and then 11 runs in their first two games of this series at Coors Field. That’s a serious power surge! They are chasing something special tonight: the last time the Dodgers scored at least seven runs in three straight games of the same series against the Rockies was back in April 5-7, 2019, which was, surprise surprise, a Dodgers sweep. This year, they’ve done the three-straight-seven-runs-or-more thing before, crushing the Pirates 12-8-8 in a series win from June 9-11. They are locked in, and the Rockies are feeling it.
Tonight’s game is set for 5:40 p.m. at Coors Field, and it’s not just a chance for another Dodgers sweep. It’s the final showdown between these two teams for 2026. Will the Rockies salvage one last win, or will the Dodgers send them off with another painful sweep?
