The Dodgers turned a quiet Sunday afternoon into a seventh-inning showcase, scoring four runs to erase a two-run deficit and defeat the Rockies 5-3 at Dodger Stadium.
Emmet Sheehan anchored the comeback with six innings of work, allowing 2 runs on five hits while striking out eight. The right-hander carried a 4.70 ERA into the game and kept Los Angeles within striking distance despite trailing for most of his outing.
The decisive rally began when Will Smith scored on Shohei Ohtani's force out, cutting Colorado's lead to 3-2. Mookie Betts followed with a sacrifice fly that brought Hyeseong Kim home to tie the game at 3-3. Freddie Freeman then doubled to right field, scoring Ohtani to give the Dodgers their first lead at 4-3. Andy Pages capped the inning with a single to center that brought Freeman home for the final margin.
Ezequiel Tovar had carried Colorado through the middle innings, driving in both fourth-inning runs with a sacrifice fly and later launching a 431-foot home run to center in the seventh. The shortstop went 2-for-3 with 2 RBIs. Brennan Bernardino took the loss after allowing 2 runs in two-thirds of an inning.
Kyle Hurt earned his first win of the season with one inning of relief, while Blake Treinen recorded his first save. Los Angeles extended its winning streak to two games and improved to 33-20. Colorado fell to 20-34 with its second straight loss.
