Julio Urías pitches six shutout innings and Will Smith, Max Muncy and Jason Heyward all hit homers in a 5-2 win as the Dodgers go 4-2 on their first homestand of the season.
LOS ANGELES ― The Dodgers hit six home runs in their two-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies, continuing a trend of dominance. Their 5-2 win on Tuesday night was their 61st against the Rockies since 2018, more wins than any single head-to-head matchup in MLB over that time.Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías followed up his strong start in the season opener by throwing six shutout innings, striking out six batters without allowing a walk.
The game quite nearly unraveled when the Rockies loaded the bases with three consecutive singles to begin the third inning. But Urías struck out Kris Bryant with his new-look slider, then induced a double-play groundout to end the inning.Down 5-1 in the ninth inning, the Rockies scored a run and threatened to tie the game. Evan Phillips relieved Phil Bickford in pursuit of the save, and promptly hit Elias Diaz to load the bases.
Phillips came back to retire Mike Moustakas on a sacrifice fly and retired Charlie Blackmon on a groundout to end the game. After Mookie Betts singled to lead off the bottom of the first inning, Will Smith hit his third home run in as many games to give the Dodgers an early 2-0 lead. Smith went 2 for 4 with an RBI double and is batting .421 through five games. Max Muncy also homered for the Dodgers, his first of 2023.Starting in right field for the second consecutive game, Heyward went 1 for 3 with his second home run in as many days. The home run was the opposite of cheap: at 112.
