The Los Angeles Dodgers will chase their fourth consecutive series victory on Saturday night when they face the visiting Colorado Rockies.
The Dodgers also are chasing their seventh series win of the second half, but the current run of a season-high-tying six consecutive victories came after some struggles against a pair of playoff contenders.
The Dodgers' National League West lead dropped to 2 1/2 games when they were crushed 9-0 by the Reds on July 30. Since then, they have won 10 of their last 11 games, including six in a row, and are 7 1/2 games in front in the division. "We were talking before about the chemistry of the team that we've got, the approach we've got, we never give up, we fight every single at-bat," Dodgers outfielder David Peralta said on the SportsNet LA broadcast. "We trust everyone. The pitching staff is doing a great job, the relievers and Lance is doing a great job."Gonsolin is coming off a win at San Diego on Monday despite surrendering six runs on nine hits over six innings. He is 2-1 with a 2.
While Lambert did not give up an earned run over his first two starts since coming back to the Rockies, he has given up a combined nine runs over his last two outings, including five in 3 2/3 innings Monday in a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
