Freddie Freeman, Will Smith and Cody Bellinger homered and the Dodgers avoided the sweep with a 8-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday in Denver.
at Coors Field, a new report about Freeman’s free agency process last offseason led to another chapter in a story that has followed him for almost a week.
The only thing that was clear by the end of the night: The off-the-field drama is having little effect on Freeman’s productivity at the plate. “It’s pretty remarkable,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Freeman, who on Wednesday also took the team lead in on-base-plus-slugging percentage at .888. “He just has a unique way of compartmentalizing the emotions with performance.”After scoring just four runs in the first two games, they scored four in Wednesday’s first two innings — after an Eddy Alvarez sacrifice fly and Trea Turner two-run double in the second — en route to their highest-scoring output at Coors Field this year.
And while rain threatened the rest of the game, the Rockies never did again, with the Dodgers cruising to finish their nine-game trip 6-3.Roberts said Wednesday he was “very optimistic” that outfielder Mookie Betts would return from a cracked rib before next month’s All-Star break, though noted it could initially be in a designated hitting role.
