His last loss to them was on July 12, 2013.

The Dodgers had a golden opportunity to win the game in the bottom of the ninth.
Clayton Kershaw #22 of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitches during the first inning against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium on September 14, 2015 in Los Angeles, California.
Ten months later, they might have something a lot more valuable. “It was a long game”. The game lasted five hours and 23 minutes. “So I can’t complain”, Seager said after his Dodger Stadium debut.
A sacrifice fly by Heisey drove in Gonzalez before a single by pinch hitter Austin Barnes plated pinch runner Jimmy Rollins for a 3-3 tie.
“It’s part of the game”.
“I think if I can feed off of this”, the right-hander said. “We got the out”. It was his first time facing the Dodgers as the 23-year-old rookie from Oklahoma entered the game with a MLB record, seven consecutive no decisions to start his career.
David Hale (4-5) picked up the win. However, as he reached in to grab it, a fan unexpected fought for the ball, clasping his hands around Gonzalez’s glove and making a twisting move to grab it. “It was a strange game”. The ball got past third baseman Turner and Arenado scored, LeMahieu and Morneau ending up at second and third. Morneau singled to left, Arenado to second.
Here’s a look at past World Series that the Dodgers have played in and what they could learn from each time around. And the show was on. “I knew I was going to break out of it at some point”. “So I pretty much told myself to calm down”.
Turner and the Dodgers were ticked that Rusin, who employs an abbreviated windup, was unfairly quick pitching – delivering to the batter without warning.
Nolan Arenado hit his NL-leading 39th home run in the 16th inning, and the Colorado Rockies capitalized on a throwing error by rookie shortstop Corey Seager to score three runs in the fourth en route to a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.
After the inning, with Turner on the field for defense, he barked toward Rockies manager Walt Weiss in the dugout. Umps stopped them. Then Dodgers manager Don Mattingly came out, twice. But Gonzalez doubled off him to lead off the seventh and A.J. Ellis walked. A ground ball and a single brought home Ruggiano, giving the Dodgers a first-inning run for the fifth time in their last seven games.
“I can barely remember it now”, Rusin said. It can also lead a team into the postseason on the wrong note. And once again, in the rain.
Mattingly said both Kershaw and Greinke will remain on four days’ rest the remainder of the season, meaning each will get four more starts and Kershaw will pitch the final game of the regular season, which could be a tune-up for Game 1 of the playoffs.

The Colorado Rockies stung the ball consistently against Clayton Kershaw, yet managed only three hits through his seven innings on the mound. And Arenado finished with team-high three hits. New-school voters likely will favor Kershaw, who leads in FIP (2.08) and fWAR, (7.3) by sizeable margins.
