"The Dodgers again couldn't hold a lead or keep up offensively at the hitter-friendly park, though they put some pressure on in the ninth inning."
"Before that, the Rockies chased starter Roki Sasaki from the game in the fifth inning and then ruffled the Dodgers' relievers."
"Ward punched a big league clock for the first time wearing No. 67 and cranked his first big-league hit off Rockies starter Michael Lorenzen in the fourth inning."
"He also singled in the sixth, sending Antonio Senzatela's 96-mph sinker into center field."
The Dodgers suffered a 9-6 defeat against the Rockies, marking their second consecutive loss. Despite a late-game rally, they could not overcome the deficit. Shohei Ohtani's ninth-inning double and two runs scored were not enough as Troy Johnston made a crucial catch to end the game. The Rockies capitalized on the Dodgers' pitching struggles, particularly with Edwin Diaz and Blake Treinen failing to secure outs. The loss puts the Dodgers at risk of losing the four-game series against a struggling Rockies team.
