The Dodgers (76-51) go for the sweep tonight against the Rockies (50-76) after holding onto a 7-5 win Tuesday night. Shohei Ohtani reached 30 home runs for the sixth-straight season as Los Angeles improved to 9-3 versus Colorado.
Los Angeles’ 18 runs scored in the last two games is the highest two-game total in the second half of the season. The Dodgers’ offense has taken advantage of Coors Field with four home runs and 24 hits. Ohtani has three of the Dodgers’ four home runs in the series.
Colorado is now 1.0 game ahead of the Athletics for the worst record in baseball. The Rockies are 7-9 in August and have the second-worst ERA (5.70) and third-worst OBA (.283). If it wasn’t for the offense hitting .263 (4th) with 89 runs scored (T-4th) over those 16 games, the Rockies would certainly have the worst record in the MLB.
