The Dodgers and Rockies met tonight in what was technically a battle of the two teams at the top of the NL West, the caveat being there were 12 games between them.
That gap didn’t seem to matter much tonight, as the two teams engaged in a high-scoring back-and-forth affair that totaled 20 runs and 33 hits, but the Dodgers just had more firepower than the Rockies in their 12-8 win.

The Dodgers struck first in the 2nd against starter Peter Lambert with back-to-back dongs by Cody Bellinger (27th) and Max Muncy (18th) on back-to-back pitches to put them ahead 2-0.
