Dodgers took care of business at home, 5-3 over Colorado. Felt closer than it should've honestly. Rockies hung around longer than anyone expected.

key player
LA's bats finally woke up in the middle innings, heart of the order doing what they're paid to do.
03
hot take
Rockies are 20-35 and still finding ways to scare good teams on the road. Tells you everything about LA's bullpen right now.
04
deep cut
Dodgers manager went to the pen a hair early again, that's twice this homestand. Starter had more in the tank.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if they can keep it rolling into the next series, that's the real test.
The recap
Dodgers handled business at home, taking down the Rockies 5-3 to push to 34-20. Colorado kept it close for a while, but you could feel the bats in the heart of the order waking up late and that was the ballgame.
The bullpen locked it down once LA grabbed the lead, and Rockies just didn't have the arms to answer back. Getaway-day type win where the better roster shows up and quietly does its job.
