Lance Lynn continues his L.A. ‘rebirth’ as Dodgers pick up sixth consecutive win

Dodgers starter Lance Lynn delivers during a 6-1 win over Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium on Friday night. The Dodgers had only two hits in the rally but took advantage of a walk, two hit batsmen and Rockies left fielder Jurickson Profar’s gaffe to seal their sixth consecutive victory, their 10th win in 11 games, and push their division lead over San Francisco to 7½ games. “Whether it’s a great pitching performance or a big hit late or pouring it offensively … ultimately, every night, we feel like we’re gonna score more runs than the other team.” The Dodgers took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the sixth, an inning that began with a Kiké Hernández groundout against Rockies reliever Justin Bruihl, the left-hander who was acquired from the Dodgers for cash considerations on Aug. 1. I’m doing everything I can to help the team win.” The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the third when Peralta and Rojas singled, Betts walked and Freeman poked an RBI single to center, and they still had the bases loaded with one out against Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. After the Rockies tied the score in the fourth, the Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the fifth when Betts doubled to left, took third on Freeman’s fly ball to deep center and, following a walk to Smith, scored when Rosario beat out a potential double-play grounder.
