Will Smith, James Outman and Amed Rosario homered, Tony Gonsolin rebounded after his first pitch of the game was hit out of the park, and the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a 4-1 victory Saturday over the visiting Colorado Rockies.
Enrique Hernandez had two hits, reached base three times and scored a run as the Dodgers increased their winning streak to seven games while winning 11 of their last 12.
Ezequiel Tovar hit a leadoff home run for the Rockies, who have scored a combined three runs in the first three games of the series and will try to avoid a four-game sweep on Sunday. Tovar deposited Gonsolin's first-pitch fastball over the wall in center for his 12th home run of the season and second in the last six games. He became the fourth Rockies rookie ever to hit a first-pitch homer.
The Dodgers jumped in front 3-1 in the second inning after Hernandez doubled with one out and Outman hit a two-run home run to right, the 14th of his rookie season.
