Having won three in a row, the Los Angeles Dodgers now look to guarantee themselves at least a series split with the Colorado Rockies in their first — and only — visit to Coors Field this season.
The Dodgers are relying on a bullpen game for a third time in the past week, with Alex Wood serving as the opener. It’s a role that previously was filled by Brusdar Graterol in what were the first two starts of his young MLB career.
Of course for Wood, it’s a small step toward the role he expected to fill upon reuniting with the Dodgers.
