The Los Angeles Dodgers pummeled the Colorado Rockies, 15-6, on Tuesday night and improved to 35-20 on the year. Eric Lauer got the win in his Dodgers debut with six innings of work, four strikeouts and just one earned run and walk allowed.After being dropped in the batting order, superstar shortstop Mookie Betts launched a two-run home run in the first inning to start things off. Kiké Hernández and Andy Pages went yard in the third inning and four runs were hung in the fourth inning. Betts homered once more in the sixth, this time a three-run blast on the first pitch he saw, while Will Smith hit a two-run shot later in the inning to extend the lead to 15-1. Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas closed out the game in the ninth and surrendered five earned runs, bringing his ERA on the year to 27.00. It wasn't all celebratory during the game, however, as Hernández was forced to exit early with an oblique strain. After his double in the fourth inning, he was seen wincing in pain.Additionally, manager Dave Roberts provided the latest on another Dodger who went down on Tuesday in superstar Shohei Ohtani. The four-time MVP was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning, and despite initially staying in the game, was removed the next inning. Finally, Freddie Freeman recently spoke on his updated retirement plans after he and his wife, Chelsea, welcomed their first daughter into the family last month. Freeman originally wanted to play until he turned 40, but after the birth of his fourth child, things may change for the 36-year-old future Hall of Famer.
