DENVER — One-thousand career victories as a manager is an impressive milestone, but the Rockies’ 9-4 victory over the Dodgers was no doubt a bigger deal for Bud Black.
At least in the moment. He can relish the milestone somewhere down the road. Black became the 66th manager in major league history to get 1,000 wins.
On a raw, windy Sunday afternoon at Coors Field, where nearly every flyball became an adventure, the Rockies got a pair of two-run homers from C.J. Cron and Elias Diaz and a shutdown performance by their bullpen to clinch the three-game series.
