Ohtani Hits 448-foot Homer In 7-run 1st Inning, Dodgers Hold On For 8-7 Win To Sweep Rockies

Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman homered in the Dodgers' seven-run first inning, and Los Angeles held on for an 8-7 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night.

Andy Pages drove in three runs and Austin Barnes had a two-run double for the Dodgers, who blew most of an early 7-1 lead before their bullpen secured the series sweep with six innings of three-hit ball.

Michael Toglia hit a grand slam and Mickey Moniak also homered in the third inning for the Rockies, who have lost 33 of 43 to Los Angeles.

Ohtani delivered a 448-foot leadoff homer to the back row of the right-field bleachers on the fourth pitch by German Marquez 0-3, and the reigning NL MVP added an RBI single that chased Marquez while the Dodgers batted around in the first.

But right-hander Bobby Miller struggled in his Dodgers season debut. The touted prospect who couldn't seize a golden chance to make LA's injury-plagued rotation last season yielded six runs and eight hits in three innings against Colorado, striking out seven.
