The Los Angeles Dodgers bounced back from a rough 10-game stretch with a resounding 6-2 win against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium, improving their season record to 17-4. Uncharacteristic defensive mistakes and chasing errant pitches plagued the Dodgers during their prior games, but Tuesday’s performance showcased their resilience. The game coincided with Jackie Robinson Day, an emotional tribute to the baseball legend, as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts emphasized the powerful legacy of breaking barriers.

In the fourth inning, Will Smith hit a two-run homer, bringing his on-base percentage to an impressive .482. Meanwhile, Tommy Edman contributed significantly with four hits, helping the Dodgers establish a solid lead. Landon Knack, who started in place of injured players, pitched effectively over 4 1/3 innings, demonstrating the team's depth. The Dodgers' stellar defense, highlighted by spectacular plays from Edman and Mookie Betts, kept the Rockies at bay, securing their second consecutive win against Colorado, which continues to struggle in the early season.
