Colorado Rockies Brenton Doyle celebrates winning against Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field in Denver on Wednesday, June 19, 2024. Colorado won 7-6.

They earned another head start against their seemingly insurmountable division rival when Michael Toglia took Bobby Miller deep for a 3-0 first-inning lead. Toglia was on cycle watch after tripling his next at-bat, but that fizzled out by the end of a 2-for-4 night. Miller shook off the early home run and settled in for the Dodgers in his first appearance since April 10, carrying a 6-4 lead into the seventh after Jason Heyward’s go-ahead two-run double. But Dave Roberts might have left his starter on the mound a little too long. Miller gave up a leadoff double to Sean Bouchard then got the first out before exiting to a small ovation from Dodgers fans.
Blackmon was removed from the game Tuesday after injuring his hamstring while running the bases. He was hit by a pitch in the first inning and advanced gingerly to third base after pulling up as he rounded second. Stone is fresh off a seven-inning no-decision on June 14 against the Royals. He pitched against the Rockies on June 2, tossing five scoreless while striking out six in a win for Los Angeles. The 25-year-old has a 5.11 career ERA on the road in 44 innings. He boasts a 1.82 ERA in his last four appearances, including an impressive start into the sixth inning against the AL-best Yankees.
