Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Colorado Rockies, 4-3, on Saturday evening and fell to 16-5 on the year.

The defending champions started the scoring early thanks to a first inning two-run home run from Kyle Tucker, his second in three games. Catcher Dalton Rushing also went yard in the second inning, launching his fifth home run of the season in as many appearances this month.

The Rockies responded in the bottom half of the second to come within one, and took the lead in the sixth inning after a Troy Johnston double brought in both the tying and eventually winning run.

Ahead of the eventual victory, a scary moment occurred regarding right-handed reliever Blake Treinen. He was struck in the head by a batted ball during batting practice while standing in the bullpen, marking the second time that a Dodger has been hit by an errant ball before a game this season. He fortunately said after the game that he was OK.

In other news, manager Dave Roberts hinted at a roster move regarding minor league outfielder Ryan Ward. Although the reported move isn't official yet and it is confirmed that it isn't injury-related, it is a known fact that superstar Freddie Freeman will imminently miss time for the birth of his fourth child.

Finally, there is a health update on utility star Kiké Hernández. The fan favorite gave an extremely promising update to AM 570's Petros and Money regarding his recovery from elbow surgery.

“Feeling great, man. We’re really ahead of schedule, which is a good thing," Hernández said. "Left elbow surgery, they put me on the 60-day [injured list], so I’ve still got to wait. I am eligible to come off on the 24th [of May], but chances are I’m going to be active on the 25th if everything goes well, according to plan the rest of the way, rehab assignment.

"The 24th is a day game in Milwaukee, and I would rather play at home than the road.”
