Overview
- Dalton Rushing delivered an 11th-inning walk-off that gave the Dodgers an 8-7 win in the series opener on Tuesday night.
- Colorado answered the next day with a three-run eighth that turned a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 victory and ended an 11-game losing streak at Dodger Stadium.
- Justin Wrobleski worked seven innings with nine strikeouts for Los Angeles while Michael Lorenzen threw six solid innings for Colorado, leaving both bullpens to decide the games.
- Juan Mejia earned the win and Jordan Romano closed the game for the Rockies after Dodgers infield errors by Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland helped fuel the eighth-inning rally.
- Shohei Ohtani hit the 300th home run of his career during the Dodgers’ loss and Los Angeles still leads the NL West with a 60-32 record while Colorado’s eighth-inning scoring and improved bullpen make them a sharper late-game threat.
