The Dodgers had an interesting road trip in Colorado; playing only a game and a half with one of them being postponed entirely.
Friday | Win (F/6): The Dodgers beat the Rockies 2-1, after 5.1 innings of play. The game was called due to rain. Offensively, the Dodgers did pretty well. Adrian Gonzalez had a double and Joc Pederson stole second base. Adrian Gonzalez and Yasmani Grandal both had RBI's and Grandal also had a sacrifice fly. Jimmy Rollins was caught stealing, Uribe grounded into a double play, and the team left five men on base.
Defensively, the Dodgers had one error by Alex Guerrero however the team also turned a 4-6-3 double play. Brett Anderson pitched all 5 innings and, technically, pitched a complete game. This complete game is the first of the 2015 season. He gave up one run, six hits, one walk and struck out one.
Saturday | Postponed: Saturday night's game was cancelled due to rain in Colorado. Instead, per the Dodgers, they will play a day-night double header, 12:10pm/5:40pm PT, in Colorado to make up the game.
Sunday | Win: The Dodgers beat the Rockies 9-5 after giving up five runs in the fourth inning. Offensively, the team did well; mostly after the fifth inning. Alex Guerrero and Adrian Gonzalez both had doubles while Justin Turner hit a two run homerun. Kike Hernandez, AJ Ellis, Adrian Gonzalez, Justin Turner and Howie Kendrick all had RBI's in this game; AJ Ellis' RBI was a two-out RBI. Ellis also had a sacrifice bunt while Gonzalez hit a sacrifice fly. Ellis also hit into double play and the team left eight men on base.
Defensively, the team faired well. There were no errors but balls were hit into gaps allowing the Rockies to score five runs off of starter Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw pitched 5.2 innings, gave up five runs, eight hits, four walks and struck out five batters. Baez came in after him, pitched 1.1 innings, gave up one hit and struck out one; he was also awarded the win.
