Freddie Freeman homered after a Mookie Betts walk to put the Dodgers ahead 2-0. Clayton Kershaw allowed a run when Miguel Rojas lost a ball in the sun and a balk moved a runner to third, making it 2-1. The Dodgers answered with small-ball production: a safety squeeze, a bases-loaded forced run on a hit-by-pitch, and extra-base hits that built a multi-run lead. Michael Conforto added a sac fly and Alex Freeland drove in runs to extend the advantage. The Dodgers scored enough offense to secure a 9-5 victory and split the series.
Clayton Kershaw took the mound and on the first batter he faced, Miguel Rojas lost a "single" in the sun. A sac bunt followed, and Kershaw seemed to forget the amount of times he stepped off, balking him to third after a third disengagement. That ended up leading to a run on an RBI groundout for a run. 2-1.
A one-out double saw him get to third thanks to an error, drew a walk, and Miguel Rojas placed a perfect safety squeeze for a single that played off the Rockies' defensive alignment. A Mookie single followed to load the bases, and with two down, Will Smith got hit to force a run in and make it 4-1. They couldn't come up with more, but they got something.
