Rockies beat Dodgers, claw within one game of division lead with two left to play.

The last time the Rockies were this close to the Los Angeles Dodgers, they were 3-3 and half a game back after losing to the Phillies on April 12. Now, 154 games later, after both teams have already secured at least a playoff berth, Colorado has closed the gap back to one game and with two more wins in this series could secure their first division crown in franchise history.
Ubaldo Jimenez had a dominant start outside of one wild and erratic third inning that saw him give up a run off of three walks and a wild pitch. He'd find his groove again, however and finish with ten strikeouts and just two hits allowed in six innings of work.
For the Rockies offense, Yorvit Torrealba got the party started with a two run bases loaded double in the first inning as the Rockies got to Dodgers starter Randy Wolf before he could settle in. Troy Tulowitzki later clubbed a two run home run after Wolf left in the sixth inning to give the Rockies the cushion they'd need to withstand the Dodgers comeback off the bullpen.
Matt Daley allowed a solo home run to Russell Martin in seventh and Andre Ethier blooped a single off of Joe Beimel later in the same inning to score the Dodgers third run, but Rafael Betancourt came in and struck out Manny Ramirez to end the Dodgers threat. In the eighth, Betancourt and Huston Street continued to shut down the Los Angeles lineup as the Dodgers 'pen did the same for the last three innings against the Rockies. Street closed the door for good in the ninth, as the Rockies won their fifth in a row.
With the Cardinals and Phillies both losing, the door for Colorado to get home field advantage in the playoffs opened a little wider as well, but sweeping the Dodgers is a prerequisite for that. FanGraph and Rollcall after the bump.

I think Betancourt
shows the incredible value of pinpoint control. Frankly, I don’t think his “stuff” is particularly special, not a ton of velocity and the ball doesn’t break (at all, as far as I can tell). But the man puts it where he wants it, and generally that is enough to get it done. Hell of an effort tonight. And the icewater does flow for sure. Dude takes his time, but that was nails.

He's pumping about 92, so yeah, nothing too special
He gets some decent vertical movement, but not much to speak of in terms of the horizontal.
As for control, it’s funny, he’s been absolutely pinpoint as a Rockie (1.88 BB/9 as compared to 4.40 with Cleveland and 2.34 career) and he’s punching out over 10 batters per 9.
I want him back next season.

From the Dodgers game wrap
And then with the Dodgers on the verge of completing an improbable three-run comeback in the seventh, Ramirez struck out with men on first and second.
Improbable? Because it’s so rare to strike at a team’s bullpen when you’re down 4-1 in the seventh in a game you really need to win. Super rare.

I'd go with Street...
Tracy is open and affable, but kind of predictable after four months-plus of daily interviews.
Street always has something interesting to say, even in answer to some pretty inane questions from Alanna.

Jim Tracy
He’s clearly the best game manager this franchise has ever had. He does little things that show how he’s always a step ahead. For example — bringing McCoy in on the double switch seemed strange until you realize he was doing it to prevent Smith or Hawpe from having to face Sherril, a tough lefty, thus preserving them for later on.
Or using Street for 4 out saves. Or any of a hundred other moves he makes that you would never see from a Hurdle or Bell.
He manages the hell out of every game. Yeah, he micromanages at times, but that comes with the territory.

Why did he have Troy attempt a bunt...then

It would be kind of bizarre for Tulo to decide himself to drop a bunt, but sometimes players make odd choices.

McCoy move still seems strange
I thought maybe he was auditioning him for a postseason roster spot.
Otherwise, it’s a strange move. I’d rather have Smith or Hawpe against a lefty than McCoy. If you’re looking for a rightly, put in Murton. Or use whomever you want in the OF and pinch hit Iannetta.
