Yoshinobu Yamamoto escapes trouble and Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages help jump start the Dodgers' offense in a 4-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.
A steady stream of hits and walks and quality at-bats did not translate into a massive amount of runs for the Dodgers on Saturday night, but when combined with a strong Yoshinobu Yamamoto start and some stout relief, it was enough for a 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies before a crowd of 50,182 in Chavez Ravine.
That would give them a more balanced lineup in general and leave the top of the order less vulnerable to shut-down left-handed relievers in the later innings. Roberts said he won’t make that switch against Austin Gomber Sunday because the Rockies left-hander is “a neutral guy,” meaning he is equally effective against right-handed and left-handed hitters. “But against a lefty who has more splits, I might think about it,” Roberts said.
