The Rockies’ giant-killing days are done — for now. With two chances to claim a rare series win over the NL West-leading Dodgers at Chavez Ravine, not to mention a third straight series victory over a division leader, the Rockies came up empty twice in 24 hours. The second loss came Sunday afternoon, as Colorado’s lineup failed to deliver for the second game in a row and left-hander Austin Gomber was taken deep twice while lasting just three innings in a 4-0 defeat. It marked the 12th time in 16 trips that the Rockies left Dodger Stadium with a series loss.
