Recap: Kazmir Strikes Out 10 in 6-1 Victory Over Rockies

Saturday was a great day in DodgerLand because our beloved Corey Seager was named National League Rookie of the Month! Besides that, the day before we smoked the Rockies 5-0 and witnessed a promising outing from Bud Norris.

Saturday’s game against the Rockies would be no different. Kazmir put on a spectacle going 6 innings and striking out 10 and the offense was alive from start to finish. Here are the highlights!

Before the game, the annual Old Timers game took place. Today’s first pitch was thrown by the Tri-MVPs being that it was their bobble head night!

Dodgers’ bats got off to a quick start and drove in two in the bottom of the first thanks to AGon and Puig!

These highlights have been filled with nothing but boys in blue, but unfortunately the Rockies would pick up one in the top of the ninth to avoid the back to back shutouts.

Arenado’s home run would be the only noise in the inning and the Dodgers take the second game of the series!
