Nice start to the road trip. After a 90-minute rain delay, the Blue got off to a great start, pushing across seven runs in the 4th inning for a 7-0 lead. The Rockies slowly began to chip away at the lead in the middle innings, getting as close as 7-6 before a season-high eight-run 7th by the Dodgers blew the game wide open. They added one more in the 9th to win 16-6.
Both Andre Ethier and Rafael Furcal sat out today's game. Ethier's big toe on his right foot is still sore after he foulded a pitch off it on Saturday night. Furcal was a late scratch from the lineup with tightness in his rear-end area. (Go ahead, insert your jokes here.) He's expected to be back in the lineup Tuesday.
The Dodgers are now a league-best 31-15 and continue to lead the NL in most offensive and pitching categories, and are near the top in the majors in some of those categories, as well.
Hopefully their rout will rub off on the Lakers, who are also in Denver tonight for their playoff game with the Nuggets. Oddly enough, the two L.A. teams are staying at the same hotel in downtown Denver, although the Lakers will be checking-out after tonight's game to head back to L.A. for a Game 5 on Wednesday.
