Dodgers vs Rockies Suddenly Enter Delay on Wednesday

Wednesday evening's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies has been suspended due to a rain delay.

As the Denver skies poured heavy rain, the Dodgers benefitted via a bizarre two-run single by Max Muncy in the sixth inning of the contest.

With runners on second and third and two outs, Muncy hit what normally would be a routine pop-fly to the right side of the infield. Struggling with the elements, Rockies second baseman Thairo Estrada completely lost sight of the ball which harmlessly dropped in-between himself and first baseman Michael Toglia.

The Dodgers just caught a huge break from the umpires.

Thanks to the rain, Max Muncy gets a two-run single on an infield pop up and the Dodgers break a 0-0 tie to take a 2-0 lead in the 6th inning.

Then, the game was delayed due to the rain.

The Dodgers benefitted from this good fortune, as Dalton Rushing and Shohei Ohtani both scored to break the 0-0 tie. Up until that point, Colorado starter Chase Dollander had been utterly dominant.

Speaking of which, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is currently in the midst of his best start in a while. The Japanese ace has thrown five scoreless innings — allowing only one hit and one walk while striking out six.

We will keep you updated as to when the game will resume (if it does).
