The money raised will go toward helping the former closer who forced the Houston Astros’ Orlando Palmeiro into hitting a game-ending groundout Oct.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a groundout, flyout, strikeout, it’s an out. It’s all the same.”

The Dodgers, employing a bullpen game, got a scoreless first inning from Ryan Brasier and a scoreless third and fourth from Brusdar Graterol, but Colorado took a 2-0 lead on Hunter Goodman’s RBI groundout off Joe Kelly in the second inning and Blackmon’s two-out solo homer off Daniel Hudson in the fifth.

The score was tied 7-7 in the seventh when Will Smith hit a one-out double to right-center and took third on Max Muncy’s groundout.

Jason Heyward drove in a run with a groundout to second, and Andy Pages cut the deficit to 3-2 with an RBI double over the head of the leaping Chourio, who actually got the tip of his glove on the ball before colliding with the wall.
