The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies, 5-3, on Monday evening and improved to 34-20 on the year. Right-hander Emmet Sheehan struck out eight and walked just one across six innings of work. The scoring started in the third inning by fan favorite Kiké Hernández in his 2026 debut. He unleashed an RBI double on just the second pitch he saw to get the defending champions on the board. After the Rockies responded with a pair of runs in the fourth inning and added a solo home run in the seventh, the Dodgers put up four runs in the bottom of the frame to go up by two. Ahead of the eventual victory, the Dodgers designated a veteran infielder for assignment. In a corresponding move, Hernández was officially activated off the injured list — and as fans saw Monday, took just two pitches to start contributing. The significance of Hernández's imminent activation almost spelled bad news for third baseman Max Muncy as there was concern he would be placed on the injured list. Fortunately, Muncy was seen warming up ahead of Monday's series-opener and is expected to return sometime this week.Max Muncy testing out the right wrist that has kept him out of the last two games and likely tonight. #Dodgers pic.twitter.com/tFt5H98Tvz— David Vassegh (@THEREAL_DV) May 25, 2026Additionally, Dodgers On SI came up with a few bold predictions for the Dodgers as the 2026 campaign soldiers on. From superstar Shohei Ohtani winning the National League Cy Young award to Aroldis Chapman being brought in to fortify an already electric bullpen, the sky is the limit on the quest to a three-peat.Speaking of the bullpen, though they are still among the most formidable in baseball, the scoreless inning streak was halted at 38 innings. Right-hander Kyle Hurt, who not only was credited with the win on Monday but has an ERA of just 1.13 on the year, surrendered a solo home run in the seventh inning as the bullpen will look now look sto start another scoreless streak.
