Ohtani, who has been one of MLB’s most reliable power hitters this season, hit a two-run homer, while Conforto added a three-run blast. The Dodgers’ offense capitalized on Colorado’s pitching, which holds one of the league’s worst ERAs. Los Angeles has now won all seven meetings against the Rockies in 2025, averaging over six runs per game in the series.
On the mound, Yoshinobu Yamamoto started for the Dodgers, entering the game with a 10-8 record and a 2.84 ERA. He previously held the Rockies to just one hit over five scoreless innings in their last matchup. Kyle Freeland took the mound for Colorado, carrying a 3-12 record and a 5.18 ERA into the game. Despite recent improvements, Freeland struggled again against the Dodgers’ potent lineup.
The Rockies managed to keep the game close with a late rally but ultimately fell short. The loss further solidified their position at the bottom of the standings, while the Dodgers maintained their lead in the NL West. As highlighted by CBS Sports, the Dodgers’ combination of elite pitching and explosive offense continues to make them favorites in the division.
Looking ahead, the Dodgers are expected to continue their strong run as they aim to widen the gap over the San Diego Padres in the NL West race. The Rockies, meanwhile, search for answers as they endure a challenging season. First pitch for the next Dodgers-Rockies game is scheduled for 8:40 PM Eastern at Coors Field, with live coverage available on SportsNet LA and Rockies.TV.
