Muncy homers twice to back strong start by Glasnow as Dodgers top Rockies 7-1
on chilly night
By CRAIG MEYER
Associated Press
DENVER (AP) --- Max Muncy homered twice, Tyler Glasnow allowed two hits in
seven innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers rolled to a 7-1 win over the Colorado
Rockies in frigid conditions on Friday night.
The Colorado grounds crew had to clear 3 inches of snow from the Coors Field
playing surface before the game, which began with temperatures at 36 degrees
Fahrenheit (2 Celsius). But the chilly air didn't cool down the major
league-best Dodgers (15-4), who have won 11 of 14.
Shohei Ohtani went 2 for 5 in his return to the Dodgers' lineup, extending his
career-best on-base streak to 49 games. The two-way superstar pitched but did
not bat in Wednesday's victory over the New York Mets because he was still sore
from getting hit by a pitch on Monday.
Muncy leads the Dodgers with six homers. He went 3 for 4 with a double and
drove in three runs in his 21st career multi-homer game. The veteran third
baseman entered the game in a 1-for-17 slump.
Will Smith had two hits and two RBIs for Los Angeles, which scored at least one
run in each of the first five innings.
Glasnow (2-0) allowed one run, struck out seven and walked two in his longest
outing this season. He allowed doubles to Mickey Moniak in the fourth and
Ezequiel Tovar in the seventh. Jack Dreyer worked the final two innings to
complete the two-hitter.
The Rockies have lost seven of eight after a 6-6 start.
Tomoyuki Sugano (1-1) allowed five runs on nine hits in four innings. The
36-year-old right-hander had allowed only four runs across 16 2/3 innings in
his first three starts.
