The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 6-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies, marking their second consecutive win in the series. Will Smith's three-run homer in the third inning was a pivotal moment, helping the Dodgers snap a streak of three straight series losses. The game was played on Jackie Robinson Day, with the Dodgers wearing their Brooklyn replica uniforms in honor of the occasion. The Dodgers celebrated the 78th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier, with his No. 42 mowed into the center field grass and a sellout crowd of 53,198 in attendance. Dodgers starter Landon Knack pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing two runs and four hits, while Rockies starter Ryan Feltner struggled, giving up five runs and five hits in just 2 2/3 innings. The Rockies, with a major league-worst record of 3-14, managed to avoid a shutout thanks to Jacob Stallings' two-run double in the fourth inning. Jack Dreyer earned his second major league victory with 1 2/3 innings of relief, striking out four. Tommy Edman led the Dodgers' offense with a career-high four hits, while Shohei Ohtani, despite going hitless, scored twice. The Dodgers' bullpen, including Jack Dreyer, Kirby Yates, Alex Vesia, and Luis Garcia, combined to one-hit the Rockies over the final innings, securing the win. Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez missed his second straight game due to a stomach bug. The Dodgers improved their record on Jackie Robinson Day to 17-4. Bobby Miller is set to make his season debut in the series finale.
