DENVER —
The strangest moment on a bizarre opening day at Coors Field occurred in the third inning Thursday — before the Dodgers’ costly defensive mistakes and Clayton Kershaw’s two hits and the bullpen’s letdown in front of a jarring number of fans — between first and second base.
It was there where Cody Bellinger and Justin Turner bypassed each other on the basepaths in confusion. Bellinger had lifted a flyball off Colorado Rockies right-hander Germán Márquez that bounced out of Raimel Tapia’s glove and over the left-field wall.
