Dodgers Notes: LA Loses at Coors Field, Kershaw Contingency Plan In Place, JD Martinez Talks 300th HR and More
The Dodgers finally saw their hot streak snapped at Coors Field as they fell to the Rockies on Wednesday, as a five-run sixth inning for the Rockies went a long way toward doing the Dodgers in. The loss snapped a quality run for LA where they won five out of their last six games.
In other news, a contingency plan is in place for Clayton Kershaw after the future Hall of Famer had to leave his Tuesday start after six innings. Justin Bruihl is available as a backup plan for LA if Kershaw faces more serious issues. Also, J.D. Martinez talked about hitting his 300th career homer on Tuesday, while Dave Roberts provided reassurance for struggling infielder Miguel Vargas. You can read about all that and more down below!
