The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 8–1 at a rain-soaked Coors Field on Wednesday, becoming the first National League club this season to reach 50 victories and tying Detroit for the best record in the majors at 50-31. Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto limited Colorado to one single over five shutout innings, striking out six and walking one on just 56 pitches before a downpour forced a 1-hour-27-minute delay. The 26-year-old earned his seventh win—and first since May 26—improving to 7-6. Max Muncy drove in six runs, first lofting a rain-blown pop-up that dropped between Rockies infielders for a two-run single, then crushing an 0-2 pitch for a seventh-inning grand slam, his eighth career bases-loaded homer. Michael Conforto added a 431-foot solo shot, and rookie Andy Pages delivered an RBI single. Shohei Ohtani reached base four times, scored twice and extended his hitting streak to three games. Rockies rookie Chase Dollander surrendered three runs in 5 2⁄3 innings to fall to 2-8, and Colorado slipped to 18-62 with its ninth straight loss to Los Angeles. The series concludes Thursday, when Clayton Kershaw—eight strikeouts shy of 3,000—faces Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber.
Since May 31, the @Dodgers' Max Muncy has: 3 games with 6+ RBI 3 multi-HR games 2 games with 7+ RBI 2 games with multiple 3+ run HR 2 grand slams The only other player in MLB history to do all of that over an entire season was Jimmie Foxx during his 1938 MVP campaign. https://t.co/ox7qGd85cc
