Dodgers 7, Rockies 2: Emmet Sheehan flirted with a no‑hitter, rolling seven innings with nine strikeouts before a Kyle Karros single broke the bid. LA’s rotation has looked playoff-ready, posting a 1.41 ERA in five games. Offensively, Will Smith returned with a lead‑changing double, while Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman supplied the power behind a patient, on‑base attack from Ohtani. The win nudges LA two games up in the NL West with 17 to play.

The late-inning surge included Hernández’s solo shot, a late-inning Freeman homer, and a Rockies rally sparked by Hunter Goodman’s 30th homer of the season. It was picture‑day vibes in Dodger Stadium, but the spotlight stayed on the Dodgers’ mound depth and an improving lineup poised for the stretch run.

Colorado staged a late rally but fell short in a high-scoring 10-8 loss to San Diego. Brown’s short, rocky outing opened the door for a Padres onslaught, as Cronenworth, Fermin, and Tatis Jr. supplied the early power. Colorado answered with 14 hits and three homers, led by Beck, Tovar, and Bernabel, while Goodman added a franchise-record performance for primary catchers with his homer. Doyle robbed two potential drives in crucial moments, and the Rockies bullpen steadied before the final out.

Beck, Tovar, and Bernabel each logged three hits, with Beck delivering a seventh-inning homer to tighten the gap. Moniak added a late spark, and Goodman’s 29th homer highlighted Colorado’s night. The bullpen combo of Chivilli, Hill, Molina, and Herget kept the Padres at bay after the fourth, but the rally fell just short as Colorado eyes the Sunday finale against Dylan Cease with Tanner Gordon starting for the Rockies.

Colorado's rebuild gains momentum with a young core stepping up: Hunter Goodman, Ezequiel Tovar and Kyle Karros anchor a lineup that’s finally showing a pulse. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer is reshaping the culture while the farm system is under scrutiny as Colorado eyes a 2026 turnaround. A brutal season still looms, but a purposeful path forward against Padres and Dodgers signals a franchise planning for real competition.

Giants topple Rockies 10-8 as the lineup stays hot and the fun stays violent. San Francisco clobbered 10 homers across the three-game set, extending a streak to 17 straight games with a long-ball night fueled by Devers, Ramos, Matos, and Chapman. Colorado rallied late, but the Giants held on to inch closer to a Wild Card spot while Rockies continue their rough homestand. An on-field altercation and Chapman’s suspended-but-appealed ban added drama that fantasy players will weigh in daily moves.

Hunter Goodman spearheaded the Rockies' offense in a bruising series, while Márquez and Freeland labored early but shipped four-plus runs as the Rockies fell behind. The Cardinals? No—this is Giants-Rockies, where power and small-ball collided in Colorado, leaving fantasy managers recalibrating bets on who sticks in lineups and who rides the hot streaks into the next week.
