Arenado’s sac fly lifts Rockies to 7-6 win over Dodgers

DENVER (AP) — Nolan Arenado hit a game-winning sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, and the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on a rainy Wednesday night.

With the bases loaded and no outs, Arenado sent a fly to left-center. Chris Heisey caught it and threw home, but DJ LeMahieu slid in easily. Arenado was mobbed by teammates after the Rockies overcame a two-run deficit in the ninth.

John Axford (1-0) earned the win following two rain delays that totaled 2 hours, 26 minutes.

Yimi Garcia (2-2) was one of four relievers in the final inning for the Dodgers, but they couldn’t hold the lead.

Joc Pederson homered in his fifth straight game, becoming the first Dodgers player to do so in a single season since Matt Kemp in 2010, according to STATS.
