First Inning


The opening inning saw both teams struggling to make an impact, with neither side managing to score. The Dodgers managed a hit but couldn't capitalize on it, while their defense held strong against the Rox's attempts.


Second Inning


In the second inning, Colorado began to find their rhythm. They scored 2 runs on 3 hits, putting pressure on Los Angeles early in the game. The Blue struggled offensively and were unable to respond during this period.


Fourth Inning


The fourth inning was pivotal for Colorado as they extended their lead by scoring another 3 runs off of six hits. Despite efforts from players like Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernández who had shown promise in previous games, Los Angeles remained scoreless through this stretch.


Sixth Inning


Los Angeles finally broke through in the sixth inning when they scored their first run of the game thanks to a solid hit from Shohei Ohtani. However, this effort was overshadowed by another run from Colorado that same inning which kept them firmly ahead.


Eighth Inning


As tensions rose towards game's end during eighth innings playtime; Rox added two more runs further cementing dominance over Bums who failed any significant comeback attempt despite having opportunities arise throughout match duration itself!


Ninth Inning


In what seemed like potential turning point momentarily - ninth-inning rally initiated by Blue resulted only into scoring additional two points before ultimately falling short against resilient Blake Street Bombers' defensive lineup securing win comfortably instead!
