What a game, fellow Dodgers fans! The Rockies might've taken an early lead, but our boys showed resilience, power, and class to secure a thrilling 6-4 victory at Dodger Stadium! Let's break down the action-packed game.Rough Start, But No Panic
The Rockies were the first to draw blood in the 2nd inning, with Rodgers scoring thanks to a groundout by Goodman. For a moment, it seemed like our batters couldn’t find their rhythm. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Teoscar Hernandez all went down quietly in the 1st inning. However, it’s baseball, and there’s always more innings to play!Dodgers Struggle Through the Early Innings
After the Rockies extended their lead to 2-0 with a solo homer by Blackmon in the 5th inning, the tension was palpable. However, our boys weren’t going to back down without a fight. Andy Pages got things rolling with a solo homer (407 feet) in the bottom of the 5th, followed by Max Muncy doubling to center. Then the magic happened: Shohei Ohtani homered to center (423 feet), scoring Muncy and putting us ahead 3-2. What an incredible display of power!A Game of Homers and Heroics
The Rockies tied it up 3-3 with a solo shot from Hilliard in the 6th. But not to be outdone, Teoscar Hernandez smashed a homer (398 feet) in the bottom of the inning, restoring our lead to 4-3. Woohooo! In the 7th inning, Tommy Edman was instrumental; after walking and stealing second base, he was driven home by a sac fly from Mookie Betts. Another mistake by the Rockies allowed Ohtani to score, bringing our lead to 6-3.Smooth Finish by Our Bullpen
Though Michael Toglia of the Rockies added another run with a homer in the 9th, our bullpen was lights-out. Blake Treinen and Michael Kopech closed the game effectively, striking out batters and forcing others into weak outs. The final result was a well-deserved 6-4 victory.Man of the Match: Shohei Ohtani
