First Inning


The game began quietly for both teams as neither managed to score in the first inning. The Dodgers recorded one hit but couldn't capitalize on it. Meanwhile, Blake Snell took charge on the mound for Los Angeles and kept Colorado hitless in their opening attempt.


Second Inning


The second inning saw a significant shift as the Dodgers erupted with four runs off four hits and capitalized on an error by Colorado's defense. Mookie Betts played a pivotal role during this surge with his impressive hitting prowess that has been consistent throughout recent games.


Middle Innings (3rd - 7th)


As both teams settled into their rhythm, innings three through seven remained scoreless for Los Angeles despite several attempts to extend their lead. The Blue's pitching staff continued its stellar performance; Snell maintained control over his pitches and allowed only two hits throughout his six innings of work.


For Colorado, these middle innings were marked by frustration as they struggled against Snell's precision and failed to make any offensive headway against LA’s formidable bullpen led by Michael Kopech who struck out six batters in just three innings without conceding any hits or walks.


Eighth Inning


In what can be described as an offensive explosion reminiscent of fireworks lighting up Dodger Stadium’s night sky – five more runs were added onto LA’s tally during this decisive eighth inning thanks largely due again from contributions across various players including Freddie Freeman who delivered crucial RBIs when needed most!
