Dodgers Highlights: Alex Verdugo Homers To Extend Franchise Record, Collects First Triple Of MLB Career

The Los Angeles Dodgers continued their hot start to the season, defeating the Colorado Rockies, 7-2, on Saturday evening at Coors Field to improve to 7-2 and remain undefeated in two road games.

The Dodgers’ offense, in particular, has been outstanding in 2019, and that continued with seven runs and 11 hits to clinch their third straight series victory.

Rookie Alex Verdugo led the way offensively, going 2-for-4 with a home run and triple in his first start of the season. The long ball was Verdugo’s second of the season, and the three-bagger the first of his MLB career.
