Game 144: ‘We pretty much ran out of guys.’

The Colorado Rockies beat the Dodgers on Nolan Arenado‘s home run off Mat Latos in the 16th inning. The game lasted 5 hours and 23 minutes and set a record for the most players used by two teams in a single game (58). The Dodgers used 28 players.

Hamstring injuries are nothing new, but this year they arrived in a bunch.

In addition to the single-game record for most players used by two teams, the teams used a record 24 pitchers (previous: 21, Tampa Bay vs. Baltimore 9/30/2006, an 18-inning game). The Dodgers’ 11 pitchers and 28 players, and the Rockies’ 13 pitchers and 30 players, are all new franchise records.
