Dodgers strike late to take win over Rockies
"Dalton Rushing crushed a 450-foot home run to center field to give his team a one-run lead in the top of the first. Rushing has homered in back-to-back games, having hit a 423-foot home run against the Texas Rangers on Saturday."
"James Tibbs III continued his solid spring for the Dodgers in the bottom of the fourth, giving them a 3-1 lead with a two-run, 458-foot jack in the top of the fourth. He now has a hit in each of his last four games dating back to Friday against the San Francisco Giants."
"The Dodgers failed to extend their lead past two runs after Tibbs' homer, and they paid the price in the sixth inning. Mickey Moniak and Kyle Karros, son of former Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Eric Karros, hit back-to-back homers to level the game at three."
"L.A.'s third homer of the day came in the top of the eighth inning, as Elijah Hainline took advantage of his opportunity in the lineup and hit a two-run blast to give the Dodgers the lead."
The Dodgers secured a 7-5 victory over the Rockies in spring training, with four home runs driving the offensive performance. Dalton Rushing opened the scoring with a 450-foot home run in the first inning, extending his streak to back-to-back games with homers. James Tibbs III added a two-run shot in the fourth to extend the lead to 3-1. The Rockies responded with back-to-back homers from Mickey Moniak and Kyle Karros to tie the game. Elijah Hainline's two-run blast in the eighth gave Los Angeles the lead, and Joe Vetrano added a solo shot in the ninth. Ryder Ryan pitched two solid innings for the Dodgers, allowing one earned run with a strikeout.
