Mookie Betts followed with a tying sacrifice fly to left that scored Kim.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Ohtani scored on Freeman\u2019s double to right for a 4-3 lead, the Dodgers\u2019 first since Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s RBI double in the third in his season debut.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Pages singled off reliever Jaden Hill, scoring Freeman for the Dodgers\u2019 fourth run of the inning.<\/p>\n<p>Ezequiel Tovar had a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the fourth and a solo homer in the seventh for the last-place Rockies.<\/p>\n<p>Tovar\u2019s second homer of the season came on an 0-1 pitch from reliever Kyle Hurt (1-0), snapping a streak of 38 consecutive scoreless innings by the Dodgers bullpen dating to May 12 against San Francisco.

A trainer and manager Dave Roberts came out to watch Sheehan throw several warmup pitches. The right-hander gave up two runs and five hits in six innings. Sheehan struck out eight and walked one.<\/p>\n<p>Tanner Gordon made his first start of the season for the Rockies after seven relief outings.
