Rockies News
The Rockies’ woes continued as they fell 11-5 to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who flexed their power with three home runs, including two from the unstoppable Shohei Ohtani, now with 29 on the season. Max Muncy also joined the party, crushing his 25th homer, while Colorado’s pitching staff struggled to contain the onslaught. In a surprising move, the Rockies designated Michael Lorenzen for assignment, signaling a shake-up as they recalled TJ Shook in hopes of injecting some life into a lackluster rotation. The Rockies are still treading water with a 50-74 record, but a recent 4-3 stretch has fans wondering if there’s any hope left this season. The upcoming series against the Dodgers could be a test for a team that desperately needs to prove it can compete, especially facing off against heavy hitters like Ohtani.
