The Los Angeles Dodgers played a relatively clean game behind Kenta Maeda and it helped them earn a 10-5 win over the Colorado Rockies and series split at Coors Field. The Dodgers avoided losing consecutive series for the first time since early April.
Maeda retired the first seven batters faced before allowing a double to Tony Wolters in the third inning. Charlie Blackmon walked with two outs but Maeda escaped the jam and preserved the Dodgers’ 1-0 lead that he helped spark in the top half with a base hit.
With two on and nobody out in the fifth inning, Maeda’s sacrifice bunt drove in a run when Rockies starter Chi Chi Gonzalez committed a throwing error to first base.
