DENVER -- After a series loss against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Los Angeles Dodgers were hoping for a change of luck after struggling in recent weeks. They would have that opportunity against the worst team in the National League.
Blake Snell would take the mound for the Dodgers in his second start since coming off the injured list. He was coming off a very positive first start on Aug. 11 against the Kansas City Royals, when he pitched 6.0 innings and allowed one earned run while striking out 10.
Snell would continue that same trend, helping lead the Dodgers to an 11-5 victory. The left-hander would throw 6.0 innings, allowing two hits and one earned run while walking three and striking out five. Walks would become an issue in the third inning, but Snell escaped with minimal damage to his stat line in another strong performance. This would also be the first time the Dodgers scored 10 or more runs since July 2, when they beat the San Diego Padres 12-7.
The Dodgers offense would get going early, scoring five runs through the early portions of the game. Mookie Betts would get things started with an RBI double in the top of the second inning, followed by a four-run fourth inning.
After the Dodgers applied pressure on Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano, Andy Pages would come through in a big spot to start the offensive outburst. An RBI single from the Dodgers center fielder would bring in the first run of the inning, while Max Muncy would follow in the next at-bat with a three-run homer to extend the Dodgers' advantage over the Rockies.
