Taylor’s walk-off HR sinks Rox, pads LA’s lead

Chris Taylor widened the Dodgers’ lead in the National League West, crushing a game-ending, 10th-inning home run in a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Rockies to boost their advantage to 1 1/2 games in the division. Taylor crushed a 2-2 pitch from Rockies reliever Adam Ottavino for his 17th homer of the season, thrusting a fist into the air as the ball headed toward the left-field seats. It was the Dodgers’ sixth walk-off victory of the season and Taylor’s first career game-ending homer. The Dodgers’ bullpen followed Clayton Kershaw’s seven strong innings with three scoreless innings.
