The Dodgers scored in four different innings, including a three-run fourth inning and held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 7-6 on Tuesday night at Coors Field in Denver.
Before this series, the Dodgers hadn't scored at least six runs in consecutive games since June 29-30. That was back when the Dodgers led the majors in runs scored per game, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, wRC+, and several other categories. Since then they've been well below average on offense, which is why this series brings a sigh of relief, park factors be ****** ed.
If anything, the offense is exercising muscles that sat dormant for a while.
Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run lead to give the Dodgers a lead in the third inning, continuing a hot streak that included four extra-base hits on the homestand and two home run in Monday's series opener. Ohtani's sixth home run in his last 13 games was also his 30th of the season, just the seventh Dodger to hit 30 home runs in at least three consecutive seasons, and the first since Gary Sheffield from 1999-2001.
After two home runs on Monday and Tuesday's blast, Ohtani since joining the Dodgers in 2024 has nine home runs in 19 games at Coors Field while hitting .407/.478/.840 with 25 runs scored and 23 RBI.
