The Dodgers delivered one of their most complete offensive performances of the season on Tuesday night, overpowering the Rockies 15–6 at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium. The win featured 17 hits, five home runs, and steady production across the lineup as the Dodgers extended their strong late‑May push.
Mookie Betts set the tone early with a two‑run homer in the first inning, then added a three‑run shot in the sixth as part of a five‑RBI night. His second blast helped cap a stretch in which the Dodgers scored 13 unanswered runs before Colorado’s late push in the ninth.
Kiké Hernández and Andy Pages added back‑to‑back home runs in the third, with Pages later contributing a two‑run double and finishing with four hits, tying his career high. Will Smith joined the power display with a two‑run homer in the sixth, continuing the Dodgers’ momentum as the game moved into the late innings.
On the mound, Eric Lauer earned the win in his Dodgers debut, allowing one earned run over six innings while striking out four. His only blemish came on a solo home run in the second, but he settled in quickly and kept Colorado off balance through the middle frames.
The Rockies scored five runs in the ninth, taking advantage of position player Miguel Rojas pitching the final inning, but the late surge wasn’t enough to threaten the Dodgers’ commanding lead.
The victory marked the Dodgers’ fourth straight win and continued a stretch of strong offensive production as the team moves deeper into the homestand. The series concludes Wednesday with Shohei Ohtani scheduled to start, pending evaluation after being hit on the hand earlier in the game.
