"There are no days off right now," manager Dave Roberts said before the game. "We had a champagne toast [Thursday to celebrate a playoff-clinching win]. We got in late. We have to keep winning baseball games. We've still got people on our heels, and I want our guys to continue to stay hungry."
Ohtani crushed his NL-leading 52nd homer of the season in the fifth inning, turning a one-run deficit into a one-run lead, and stole his 52nd base in the seventh, part of a three-hit night that helped push the Dodgers to a 6-4 win in Chavez Ravine.
The Dodgers trailed 2-0 when Andy Pages led off the bottom of the fifth with a 407-foot home run to left field off Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland to cut the lead to 2-1.
Max Muncy doubled to left center with one out, and after Kiké Hernández popped out, Ohtani hammered a full-count 92-mph fastball that was well above the strike zone 423 feet over the center-field wall for a 3-2 lead.
