Los Angeles DodgersvsColorado Rockies
LAD 7/COL 6
Things to say
The Dodgers edged the Rockies 7-6 at Coors Field to take the game.
01
opener
Man, that one was a slugfest. Dodgers scratched out a 7-6 win at Coors. Any game at that altitude, you knew the ball was gonna fly.
02
key player
Heart of the order carried LA — heads up, I don't have the box score in front of me, so don't quote me on the exact stat line. Somebody in the middle did damage.
03
hot take
Rockies pitching at Coors is a lost cause. Seven runs and it still felt close. Thin air does no favors for a staff that's already thin.
04
deep cut
One-run game on a getaway-type spot — those are the ones the bullpen has to lock down, and LA barely did.
05
exit
Anyway, Dodgers are cruising at 76-51. Curious if they keep the foot on the gas next series.
The recap
The Dodgers escaped Coors with a 7-6 nail-biter, the kind of one-run grind that always feels dicey in that thin mountain air. Both offenses left the yard and traded haymakers, but LA's heart of the order did just enough to stay a step ahead all night.
The bullpen had to sweat out the final frames against a Rockies club that never stopped scratching back. Colorado fought to the wire, but at 76-51 the Dodgers keep humming while Coors gives up another close one.
