Shohei Ohtani hit his 30th home run of the season—a two-run shot that marked the sixth consecutive year he has reached that milestone—as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 7-6 on Tuesday night at Coors Field in Denver. Freddie Freeman added two hits and two RBIs in the victory.
The Dodgers scored in four different innings, including a three-run fourth inning, and held on despite a late Rockies rally. According to reporting, the Rockies chipped away but could not overcome the deficit in the late innings, with Willi Castro pacing Colorado's offense. The Dodgers (76-51, first in the NL West) had not scored at least six runs in consecutive games since June 29-30, when the team led the majors in that category.
