From the outset, the Dodgers took control of the game. In the first inning alone, they tallied three hits and secured two runs, setting an early tone that persisted throughout the contest. Their offensive effort was bolstered by a total of eight hits across nine innings. Key to their success were two home runs that contributed significantly to their four-run tally.


On the pitching side, Gavin Stone earned his sixth win of the season thanks to a standout performance that kept Rockies hitters at bay. The combined efforts of Michael Grove and Alex Vesia out of the bullpen helped secure hold numbers six and three for them respectively this season, further stifling any hopes for a Rockies comeback.

The Dodgers' defense was flawless throughout, committing no errors and turning three double plays which underscored their defensive efficiency. This perfect fielding percentage complemented their pitchers' efforts splendidly.


Conversely, The Rockies struggled offensively managing only five hits throughout all nine innings without crossing home plate once. Their lone error did little but compound their challenges as they failed to capitalize on any scoring opportunities presented.
