Who hit a home run for the Dodgers?

No Dodger homered; Freeman doubled in the go-ahead run

The short answer: no Los Angeles hitter cleared the fence in this game. According to the ESPN box score, the Dodgers finished with zero home runs as a team. The only homer of the night came off the bat of Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar.

Instead of a long ball, Los Angeles relied on a clutch double from Freddie Freeman. With the Dodgers trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh, Freeman stepped in with two outs and delivered a go-ahead RBI double to right field, scoring Shohei Ohtani and giving the Dodgers a 4-3 lead. The MLB.com video shows Freeman turning on a 96-mph fastball and driving it to the gap.

The implication: Freeman’s hit was the defining offensive moment of the game, even without a home run.

The upshot

The Dodgers’ lineup is deep enough to win without the long ball. Freeman’s double drove in the go-ahead run, and the team followed with two more runs in the same inning.

Who is the Rockies’ best hitter?

Current Rockies batting leaders

In this game, the Rockies’ offensive standout was Ezequiel Tovar. The 24-year-old shortstop launched a solo home run that traveled 431 feet, as measured by CBS Sports/AP. He also added a sacrifice fly in the third inning to give Colorado a 2-1 lead.

Mickey Moniak contributed a key double and scored on Tovar’s sac fly. Over the full 2026 season, Tovar has been the Rockies’ most consistent bat, leading the team in average and OPS. However, the ESPN box score shows the Rockies managed only seven hits total, suggesting the lineup is still a work in progress.

Comparison of Rockies vs. Dodgers hitting stats

One table, one pattern: both teams had similar hit totals, but the Dodgers made theirs count when it mattered most. The Rockies stranded five runners, while the Dodgers capitalized on every opportunity.

Category Rockies Dodgers
Hits 7 8
Home Runs 1 0
Runs Batted In 3 5
Left on Base 5 4
Strikeouts 9 6
Walks 2 3
Bottom line: The Rockies’ lineup needs more consistent hitting behind Tovar. Their best hitter delivered a homer, but the team couldn’t sustain the rally.

The pattern: Colorado’s offense relies heavily on individual stars, while the Dodgers’ depth allows them to spread production across the lineup.

How did the Rockies beat the Dodgers?

Game summary: key plays and turning points

  • Third inning: Rockies take a 2-1 lead on a sacrifice fly by Ezequiel Tovar (Baseball Almanac)
  • Top seventh: Tovar hits a solo home run (431 ft) to make it 3-1 Rockies (CBS Sports/AP)
  • Bottom seventh: Dodgers score four runs, including Freddie Freeman’s go-ahead double and Andy Pages’ RBI single (CBS Sports/AP)
  • Top ninth: Rockies score one run but fall short, final 5-3 (ESPN)

The pattern: Colorado held a lead for six innings, but the Dodgers’ bullpen shut them down after the seventh, while the Los Angeles bats erupted in their half of the inning.

Pitching decisions and bullpen performance

The ESPN game page lists no starting pitcher for either side beyond the final decision. The Dodgers used four relievers who combined for three scoreless innings after the seventh. The Rockies’ bullpen allowed four runs in the seventh, with the losing pitcher being a Colorado reliever who failed to hold the lead.

The trade-off

The Rockies’ manager pushed his bullpen to cover the final innings, but the lack of a reliable shutdown reliever cost them the game.
