The Los Angeles Dodgers walloped the Colorado Rockies, 9-0, on Wednesday thanks to a season-high 11 strikeouts from Blake Snell and a four-hit day from Mookie Betts that included a grand slam. LA improved to 82-64 on the year and swept Colorado en route to their fourth straight victory.

In other news, the Dodgers made a roster move, activating a veteran utility star. In a corresponding move, an outfielder was optioned to Triple-A.

Additionally, the Dodgers have been predicted to sign All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker by rival executives around MLB. Although he certainly won't be cheap, the glaring lack of depth in the outfield this season may just be enough of a reason for LA to make a play.

Finally, a team insider claimed that future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw could be a bullpen option during the postseason. The veteran southpaw has been extremely dependable as of late, but could prove to be an additional layer of protection to the bullpen in October.
