First Inning


The game began with both teams showing strong defensive plays. The Dodgers managed to get two hits but were unable to convert them into runs. Meanwhile, the Rockies were kept scoreless by the Blue's pitching staff.


Second Inning


In an impressive display, Freddie Freeman led the charge for the Bums with a crucial hit that helped bring in two runs. This gave the Dodgers an early lead and showcased their offensive potential.


Third Inning


The Rox responded quickly in this inning by scoring two runs of their own, leveling the playing field and putting pressure back on Los Angeles. Despite this setback, pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto maintained composure on the mound for most of his outing.


Sixth Inning


A pivotal moment came when Mookie Betts contributed significantly to another run for Los Angeles during this inning. However, despite Betts' efforts and solid hitting from other team members like Miguel Rojas who had an average of .500 in previous games - it wasn't enough to secure victory as they struggled against Colorado's defense later on.
