The Los Angeles Dodgers became the first team in MLB to reach 60 wins this season, securing their 60th victory with a dramatic 8-7 extra-innings triumph over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. Dalton Rushing delivered the walk-off single in the 11th inning, capping a back-and-forth contest that saw both teams exchange leads late.

The win marked the Dodgers' first extra-inning game of the season, a streak that had lasted since Game 7 of the previous year's World Series. Shohei Ohtani contributed significantly with four RBIs, including his 299th career home run. The Dodgers' bullpen, however, had some shaky moments, with Edgardo Henriquez eventually earning the win after a tense 10th inning.

Colorado staged a late rally, tying the game 6-6 in the ninth and taking a 7-6 lead in the 10th before Los Angeles forced extras. The game featured a controversial play at the plate and heated exchanges between players, including Max Muncy and Rockies pitcher Jimmy Herget. The Rockies' challenge on a potential balk call ultimately failed, allowing the Dodgers to continue their pursuit of a third consecutive championship.
