Freddie Freeman hit a two-run home on the sixth pitch of the game, Clayton Kershaw won his fourth straight start, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 9-5.

Freddie Freeman has endured the most frustrating year in his time with the Dodgers, although a .303 batting average would say otherwise. Freeman began the year leading the National League with a .374 batting average after May 31.

Sure, the Dodgers would have loved to have earned a 3-1 series win or a series sweep against the Rockies. Although the Rockies have struggled, playing in Colorado often proves to be a difficult task. It was a competitive series throughout and LA was able to leave with a series split.
