The Los Angeles Dodgers began their title defense with a loss that saw them fail to execute in multiple facets. They bounced back with three consecutive wins against the Colorado Rockies, though didn’t consistently play to the expected standard.
“It was great to win three of four. These guys traditionally play really well here, so to win three of four was huge,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the series finale at Coors Field. “But there’s some things we can continue to clean up. There’s a lot of things.”
The Dodgers had at least 12 hits in each of the first three games against the Rockies, but then mustered only four on Sunday.
