Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman led the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday with their early home runs. Betts hit his fourth leadoff homer of the season, followed by Freeman’s blast off Rockies pitcher Austin Gomber.
Gavin Stone continued his impressive pitching performance, going five innings with six strikeouts and only allowing four hits and two walks. The Dodgers bullpen, consisting of Michael Grove, Alex Vesia, and Daniel Hudson, combined for the team’s sixth shutout of the season.
Despite Gomber’s strong season so far, he struggled against the Dodgers, giving up three runs on five hits in just three innings. Betts and Freeman’s homers set the tone for the game, with Freeman adding two more runs and RBIs to secure the win for the Dodgers.
The Rockies had a chance to score in the fifth inning with runners in scoring position, but ultimately fell short as the Dodgers defense held strong. The win marks the Dodgers’ fifth victory in six games, showing their dominance in the National League.
In other news, Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is dealing with a right oblique strain and has no set timeline for his return to baseball activities. The Rockies will face the Cincinnati Reds next, while the Dodgers head to Pittsburgh for their upcoming games.
