On Monday night at Dodger Stadium, Freddie Freeman doubled off the right field wall in the seventh inning to drive in Shohei Ohtani, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers past the Colorado Rockies 5-3 in a four-run rally.
Ezequiel Tovar's 431-foot solo home run leading off the seventh extended Colorado's lead to 3-1, snapping the Dodgers' franchise-record 38-inning scoreless streak dating to May 12 against San Francisco, the longest since 1901.
Will Smith and Hyeseong Kim drew back-to-back walks against Juan Mejia before Brennan Bernardino hit Miguel Rojas with a pitch to load the bases; Mookie Betts tied the game with a sacrifice fly and Andy Pages added an RBI single.
The Dodgers improved to 34-20 with their 18th comeback win of the season after being 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position through six innings, while Blake Treinen earned his first save with a strikeout in the ninth.
Enrique Hernandez received playoff-level cheers in his first game back since the World Series, hitting an RBI double in the third after signing a one-year, $4.5-million deal following offseason elbow surgery, while Max Muncy remains uncertain for Wednesday after Friday's injury.
