Walk-off hit ends the game! Shohei Ohtani angrily tossed his batting gloves. Roberts: It's hard to put this game into words.

The Dodgers suffered a walk-off defeat against the Rockies today. Afterward, Shohei Ohtani hurled his batting gloves in the dugout, and manager Dave Roberts said, "Words can't really capture this game." He looked defeated as he finished speaking.

In today's away game against the Rockies, the Dodgers only needed a win to keep their division title hopes alive with a magic number of 34, but ended up suffering a heartbreaking walk-off loss.

Broadcast footage after the game showed Shohei Ohtani forcefully tossing his batting gloves in the visiting dugout, clearly frustrated by the defeat.

Facing an opponent they had beaten ten times in a row since last year, the Dodgers had eight more hits than the Rockies but also struck out twelve times. Roberts criticized, "When you reach double-digit strikeouts, that's not acceptable."

Roberts stated, "Speaking of hitting, while a few guys did well, overall, our offense wasn't where it should be. Honestly, it surprised me."

He noted, "The opposing starter seemed to have a blister, and we had our chances, but couldn't capitalize when it mattered, which is unfortunate." Roberts also pointed out that their starting pitcher held the Rockies in check for seven innings, and the bullpen kept them scoreless in the eighth. The Rockies' starter only lasted four innings, yet the Dodgers still couldn't secure the win. "It's really hard to describe this game," Roberts repeated.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched seven innings and allowed three runs, delivering a quality start. Roberts said, "Yamamoto was outstanding tonight. With his performance, this should have been a game we won. That's why it's so tough to explain what happened."

On defense, right fielder Teoscar Hernández made a crucial error in the bottom of the ninth with one out and the score tied. He got his glove on a fly ball to right but couldn't hold on, leading to a costly mistake. When asked about it after the game, Hernández simply replied, "Nothing to say..."
