The Dodgers (75-51) delivered a 11-5 win over the Rockies (50-75) at Coors Field on Monday night. Los Angeles extended their record to 8-3 against Colorado this season and 6-1 over the past seven.
Colorado is coming off series wins over San Francisco and Arizona. The offense was still hot enough to put up five runs against Los Angeles, but on the month, the Rockies are hitting .262 (5th) and 18 home runs (13th). The pitching woes have continued though. Colorado is 29th in ERA (5.62) this month and OBA (.283).
Los Angeles is 2-3 over the last five games and 6-10 in August. The Dodgers got a valiant effort from Shoehi Ohtani last night as he battles Pete Crow-Armstrong for the NL MVP. Ohtani went 4-5 hitting for two home runs, four runs scored, and three RBI. Ohtani is now hitting .317 in August with five home runs, 11 runs, and 11 RBI.
