Dodgers display lineup depth in five-run inning, beat Rockies on opening day
gave up a run in the ninth, on an RBI double to Charlie Blackmon, before striking out Kris Bryant to earn his first Dodgers save
Seven players recorded a hit, with Bellinger and Justin Turner the only exceptions. Taylor and Smith reached twice, while Freeman picked up his first Dodgers hit while also getting aboard on a walk and being hit by a pitch. And in a reminder of the batting order’s depth, Lux reached base three times from the No. 9 spot, sandwiching a couple of walks around his game-tying hit.“They were really quality [at-bats] up and down [the lineup],” Roberts said. “We got some big hits when we needed to.
“We were able to shift the momentum there,” Taylor said of the fourth inning. “Take advantage of some mistakes.” Though that was the only time it all came to fruition Friday, it still was enough to start the season with a win — and provide a preview of the potential fireworks to come from their lineup.
