DENVER — The Rockies have lost eight straight games, and I can’t imagine a tougher way to lose than this: The potential game-tying run was thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the fifth inning, the challenge couldn’t reverse the call because there wasn’t “clear and convincing evidence” to overturn it, then the game was delayed in the sixth inning because of rain and declared official 1:40 later.

So the Dodgers will take the 2-1 win. Brett Anderson said it was the hardest rain he’d ever played in, Jimmy Rollins the second-hardest.

Yasiel Puig‘s left hamstring tightened up in the fifth inning of his Single-A rehab game.

Bench coach Tim Wallach was the third baseman during Hideo Nomo‘s no-hitter at Coors Field. As he recalled, the conditions were very similar to Friday’s.

The box score is here.
