The Los Angeles Dodgers overwhelmed the Colorado Rockies 15-6 on Tuesday night, powered by stellar performances from Mookie Betts and Andy Pages who excelled after being moved to different positions in the batting lineup.
Betts launched two home runs while Pages, Enrique Hernandez and Will Smith also connected for long balls as Los Angeles stretched its winning streak to four games and captured its 11th victory in 13 outings.
Pitcher Eric Lauer (2-5) delivered six solid innings in his first appearance for the Dodgers. The left-handed starter allowed just one run on four hits while walking one batter and striking out four.
Batting fourth for the first time since 2017, Betts went yard in the opening frame and recorded his first game with multiple home runs since May 19, 2025. He went 3-for-5 at the plate with five RBIs.
Pages, who was elevated to the second spot in the order for the first time this year, matched his career-best performance with four hits.
The Rockies got home runs from Hunter Goodman, Brett Sullivan and Kyle Karros. Colorado starter Kyle Freeland (1-6) surrendered season-worst totals of eight hits and nine runs across four innings. The left-hander fanned four batters without issuing any walks.
Colorado dropped its fourth straight contest and suffered its seventh defeat in eight games.
Los Angeles took a 2-0 advantage in the first when Betts connected on a home run to center field against Freeland.
Goodman cut into the deficit for Colorado in the second with a leadoff homer to center.
The Dodgers created separation in the third inning as Hernandez led off with a home run and Pages followed two batters later with another blast for a 4-1 advantage. Hernandez was appearing in just his second game this season after returning Monday from offseason elbow surgery, but he exited Tuesday’s contest after the fourth inning due to a strained left oblique.
Manager Dave Roberts confirmed postgame that Hernandez will return to the injured list, stating, “It’s not a season-ending thing.”
Los Angeles added four more runs in the fourth when Miguel Rojas scored on a wild pitch, Pages drove in two with a double and Freddie Freeman contributed a sacrifice fly. Rojas (double) and Hyeseong Kim (sacrifice fly) each drove in runs during the fifth inning.
Betts connected for a two-run homer and Smith delivered a three-run blast in the sixth for Los Angeles, which matched its season-high marks for runs and hits (17).
Sullivan and Karros homered during Colorado’s five-run ninth inning against Rojas, who had moved from third base to the pitcher’s mound.
