The Dodgers finished a nine-game road trip with a 5-1 win in Milwaukee. Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one run over seven innings, matching his earlier road performance. Los Angeles scored early with a Moriyama Special, then added two runs in the fifth when Kyle Tucker tripled home two and later hit a homer as part of a four-run inning. The bullpen continued its recent form, with both and Tanner Scott recording perfect outings and two strikeouts each. The Dodgers also improved their overall stretch by winning the final two games of a four-game homestand against the Giants. The Rockies enter with a 20-34 record, having won only six of their last 23 games and not winning consecutive games since May 7-8.
"Yoshinobu Yamamoto looked more like himself, allowing one run over seven innings for the second time on the road trip. The Dodgers actually scored some runs for Yama, getting a Moriyama Special for the first run before Kyle Tucker tripled home two in the fifth and launched a homer for a four-run inning. The bullpen continued its recent dominance, with and Tanner Scott posting identical lines with two strikeouts in each of their perfect innings."
"The Dodgers salvaged their previous homestand winning the final two games of a four-game set against the Giants to have a 3-4 homestand, but went 7-2 on this nine-game road trip through Anaheim, San Diego and Milwaukee. Today, they return home for three against the Rockies before the surging Phillies come to town over the weekend."
"The Rockies (20-34) started the season pretty decently, going 14-17 in the first month+ of the season after a 13-2 win over the Reds on April 29. If you do the math on their current record compared to that record, it's not great. They've only won six of their last 23 games and haven't won back-to-back games since May 7-8."
"Emmet Sheehan gets the ball coming off a rough start in San Diego. Sheehan became the first Dodger pitcher to pitch on four day's rest this season and it showed, as he only lasted four innings and gave up four runs on five hits with only two strikeouts on 67 pitches. The Dodgers immediately gave Sheehan a lead to work with in the top of the first, but he allowed a two-run homer to the struggling Manny Machado in the bottom of the inning and then gave up another two-run bomb to Miguel Andujar"
