Dodgers score seven runs to edge Rockies in close contest

The Los Angeles Dodgers scored in four different innings to secure a 7-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies on August 18, 2026, at Coors Field. The Dodgers' three-run fourth inning was key, as Shohei Ohtani contributed a two-run home run, marking his 30th of the season. This win follows a trend of improved offensive performance for the Dodgers, who had struggled to score runs earlier in the season. The Rockies kept the game tight, scoring a solo home run in the fifth and cutting the Dodgers' lead to one run in the ninth before Tanner Scott closed the game. The Dodgers had six extra-base hits, continuing their offensive resurgence since the start of the series.
