Ohtani’s 2 Homers Ignite a Dodgers Breakout at Coors Field as Snell Shines in 11-5 Win over Rockies

On Monday night in Denver, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 11-5, with Shohei Ohtani homering twice to spark the offense in the opener of a three-game series at Coors Field.
The Dodgers entered Monday averaging 3.4 runs per game over a stretch where they lost 11 of 16, holding a 6-10 record in August before this offensive breakout.
Starting pitcher Blake Snell allowed one run and two hits while striking out five over six innings, earning his first win of the season after returning from elbow surgery.
Max Muncy extended the lead with a 461-foot three-run home run in the third inning, the longest Dodgers homer of the season, while Ohtani finished 4 for 5 with three RBIs.
Following the victory, Dodgers lefty Eric Lauer takes the mound on Tuesday for the second game, while the Rockies will counter with right-hander Ryan Feltner .
