Denver. Dominican Warming Bernabel hit a game-winning single in the ninth inning, and the Colorado Rockies snapped a 10-game losing streak against the Dodgers, who fell 4-3.

Ezequiel Tovar started a comeback with a double that Teoscar Hernández, charging, couldn't handle. Bernabel followed with a Justin Wrobleski (4-5) cutter to center to bring Tovar home. The Venezuelan tied the game in the seventh with a solo home run.

The Rockies extended their winning streak to four games. With a 36-89 record, Colorado needs to win six of its final 37 games to avoid the 2024 Chicago White Sox's modern record of 121 losses.

Victor Vodnik (4-3) pitched a perfect ninth inning, including a strikeout of Dalton Rushing with Shohei Ohtani on reserve.

Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto surrendered leads twice and allowed three runs in seven innings, striking out six.

Meanwhile, Paul Skenes kept the American League's leading team relatively under control for six innings, and the Pittsburgh Pirates took advantage of errors by the Toronto Blue Jays to claim a 5-2 victory.

Evan Sisk (1-1) earned his first major league win with a scoreless seventh inning.

Alec Burleson went 3-for-4, including the go-ahead single in the seventh inning. The St. Louis Cardinals ended their five-game losing streak with an 8-3 victory over the Miami Marlins.

Mexican reliever Valente Bellozo pitched a complete inning without allowing any runs and striking out two, but that didn't prevent the Florida team from losing.

Jack Flaherty, meanwhile, struck out nine in seven scoreless innings as the Detroit Tigers blanked the Houston Astros 10-0.
