The Dodgers have played 18 games since the All-Star break, all against contending teams, and have played basically .500 ball. That trend continues today against the Rockies, who are right there in a three-team NL West race. In a hilarious twist of fate or something, two teams with struggling offenses played at Coors Field to see what would give, and for much of the game it was the bats. However, a late-game exchange of fireworks (or horribleness from the pens) resulted in a ton of scoring, and thankfully the Dodgers managed to get the last laugh at 8-5.
