    LOS ANGELES — Like crystals, green tea or any number of products on Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Goop’ website, the Colorado Rockies are going to have healing properties this season. The Dodgers won just three of nine games before the Rockies came to Dodger Stadium this week. But there’s nothing like a series against the woeful Rockies to put things right and the Dodgers beat them for the second consecutive night Tuesday, 6-2.

    LOS ANGELES - After the Dodgers dropped two of three in Washington earlier this week, Kike' Hernandez tried to put it in perspective. "At some point, we were going to play (bad) baseball, and it just seemed like this was the week to do that," Hernandez said. The week hasn’t ended yet. Pete Crow-Armstrong hit two of the Chicago Cubs' three home runs as they beat the Dodgers 4-2 Sunday afternoon, taking two of three in the weekend series.

Dave Roberts said the other day that #Dodgers want Gonsolin up to 5-6 IP before he would be a candidate to join the rotation. Will be interesting to see if need for a starter next week will change that.

It took two Hernandez (Kike' with his glove, Teoscar with his bat) to make sure the #Dodgers weren't swept by the Nationals. "At some point, we were going to play (rhymes with city) baseball and it just seemed like this was the week to do that.” https://t.co/dFYCO4U3RZ
