"The Dodgers (34-20) had another comeback win last night, scoring four in the seventh for a 5-3 win in the opener against the Rockies. Emmet Sheehan looked like he was in line for another rough start after he gave up two runs in the fourth and took a liner off the shoulder. He stayed in and got through six with only those two runs allowed, but left the game trailing after the Dodgers failed to get the big hit in Tanner Gordon's five innings."

"The Rockies snapped the Dodger bullpen's scoreless inning streak with an Ezequiel Tovar leadoff homer in the seventh off , but the Dodgers put up four in the seventh after two walks and a HBP loaded the bases with no outs. Shohei Ohtani grounded into a near-double-play but beat the throw after a challenge overturned the out call, Mookie Betts lifted a sac fly to tie the game, and Freddie Freeman drove in Ohtani on a double off the right field wall."

Today, the Dodgers look for a fourth-straight win and their 11th win in the last 14 games. Eric Lauer makes his Dodger debut after years of tormenting the Dodgers."
