The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Colorado Rockies with a 9-0 victory this Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.

Blake Snell had a great quality outing with 6.0 innings of 11 strikeouts without allowing a run and Mookie Betts guided the offense with a grand slam.

In addition, the San Diego Padres fell again against the Cincinnati Reds and the Dodgers enjoy a three-game lead in the NL West.

Blake Snell extends streak of great starts from pitchers

The Dodgers are starting to see the fruits of having one of the best rotations in the Major Leagues.

With Yamamoto, Glasnow, and Snell back in shape, the team has put its best face forward in the last two weeks in terms of pitching.

Over the last five starts, Dodgers pitchers have pitched 34.1 innings and have allowed only five runs in that span.

This reflects a 1.39 ERA with 49 strikeouts by Dodgers starters in the last five games. Of those five games, the team lost one on Saturday to the Baltimore Orioles.

The health of the starting pitchers is great news for Dave Roberts and the Dodgers bullpen, one of the most used in all of Major League Baseball this season.

In addition to getting the rotation in good shape two weeks before the start of the postseason.

Mookie Betts continues to awaken the Dodgers offense

Mookie Betts stood out in the Dodgers offense this Wednesday with a double and a home run with the bases loaded.

Betts has a batting average of .337 with 33 hits, 6 home runs, 21 RBIs and 15 runs scored in the last 25 games.

The Dodgers shortstop had to overcome health problems and a prolonged slump, but is commanding the offense as the postseason approaches.

Teoscar Hernandez also contributed a home run, his third in two consecutive games.

They rest this Thursday and will travel this Friday to Oracle Park for a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants.
