    DENVER — It took an act of God to get Yoshinobu Yamamoto some run support. Yamamoto and Colorado Rockies rookie Chase Dollander took an un-Coors-ian scoreless pitchers’ duel into the sixth inning on Wednesday night when a thunderstorm arrived in the Denver area, announcing its presence with lightning visible in the distance.

    DENVER - The mystery continues. After a hot two weeks following his return from a fractured toe, Mookie Betts has slipped back into another slump. Going into Tuesday night's game at Coors Field, Betts was 6 for 37 (.162) over his previous 10 games. Betts was 2 for 5 Tuesday, his first multi-hit game since June 7. But still, his .257 average, .339 on-base percentage and .394 slugging percentage would all be career-lows for the perennial All-Star.

#Dodgers will activate Matt Sauer tomorrow. Jose Urena is the odd man out. Someone will probably open for Sauer
