DENVER (Interstat) — Max Muncy homered twice and Tyler Glasnow dominated over seven innings of two-hit ball as the Los Angeles Dodgers methodically dispatched the Colorado Rockies 7-1 on a frigid Friday night at Coors Field.

Playing in conditions more suited for football, with a game-time temperature of 36 degrees following the removal of three inches of snow from the field, the major league-leading Dodgers improved to 15-4 with their fourth consecutive victory. The Rockies fell to 7-13.

Glasnow, the Dodgers’ top star, was the story, neutralizing the thin, cold air and a Rockies lineup that managed just two hits against him. He allowed one earned run, walked one and struck out seven. His performance was a stark rebound from his previous outing, a no-decision against Texas where he allowed four runs in six innings.

The most important sequence of the game came early, as the Dodgers built an insurmountable lead against Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano, who took the loss to fall to 1-1. Los Angeles scored in each of the first five innings, showcasing a relentless offensive approach that capitalized on opportunities.

They opened the scoring in the first when Shohei Ohtani, returning to the lineup after being held out of batting duties Wednesday due to soreness, led off with a double. He advanced to third on a groundout and scored on Will Smith’s sacrifice fly.

Muncy made it 2-0 in the second with a solo home run to center field, his fifth of the year. The Dodgers then broke the game open with a two-run third. Smith singled, Freddie Freeman walked, and Muncy drove a double to right field to score Smith. Freeman later scored on Andy Pages’ sacrifice fly, making it 4-0.

After Kyle Tucker doubled and scored on Smith’s single in the fourth, the Rockies scratched out their lone run in the bottom of the inning. Mickey Moniak doubled, moved to third on a groundout and scored on Troy Johnston’s groundout.

Any thought of a comeback was quickly extinguished in the fifth when Muncy led off with his second homer of the night, a solo shot to right field. Pages followed with a single, moved to third on a Hyeseong Kim single and scored on Alex Freeland’s sacrifice fly, capping the scoring at 7-1.

From there, Glasnow and the Dodgers’ bullpen silenced the Rockies. Glasnow retired the final seven batters he faced. Reliever Jack Dreyer pitched two perfect innings with three strikeouts to close it out.

The Dodgers’ offense amassed 13 hits, with Muncy’s 3-for-4, two-homer, three-RBI night leading the way. Ohtani went 2-for-5, extending his career-best on-base streak to 49 games. Smith and Freeman each added two hits, with Smith driving in two runs.

For Colorado, Moniak’s double was one of only two hits, with Ezequiel Tovar adding a seventh-inning double. Rockies reliever Zach Agnos provided a bright spot with four innings of long relief, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out four.

The victory continued the Dodgers’ strong start to the season, having won 11 of their last 14 games. They will look to continue their momentum in the second game of the series Saturday. The Rockies, after splitting a four-game series in Houston, have now lost five of their last seven.

According to pregame projections, Interstat’s game simulator had forecast an 8-3 Dodgers win, while its ELO system gave Los Angeles an 80.4% probability to win. The Dodgers covered the -1.5 spread, and the total of eight runs went under the over/under line of 9.5.

The announced attendance was 28,783 for the game, which lasted 2 hours, 32 minutes.
