"The Dodgers, who scored 20 runs on 30 hits in their two wins at Coors Field and six runs on 14 hits in their two losses, struck early in Thursday's matinee, with Mookie Betts opening the game by walking on five pitches. Freddie Freeman followed with a two-run homer run, his 16 th of the season, to center field. The Rockies got one of those back runs in the bottom on the inning."
"The Dodgers extended their lead in the second when Andy Pages doubled with one out and continued to third when Freeman let the ball get by him in the right-field corner. After a walk to Alex Call, Rojas reached on a bunt, scoring Pages. A Betts single then loaded the bases and an out later Will Smith was hit by a pitch, forcing in a run."
The Dodgers arrived in Colorado with an opportunity to widen a narrow division lead against the worst team in the majors and left having split the four-game series after a 9-5 Thursday win. The Dodgers produced 20 runs on 30 hits in their two wins at Coors Field and six runs on 14 hits in their two losses. The offense struck early: Mookie Betts walked to start the game and Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer, his 16th of the season. The Dodgers added runs across multiple innings, including an extended second inning that forced Chase Dollander to 58 pitches, and continued to score through the third and fourth.
