Dodgers Win Again in Colorado

Oklahoma City has found considerable success at the plate recently, and that was the case once again on Saturday, as the Dodgers piled up 14 hits in a 7-3 win over Colorado Springs.

The Dodgers (56-31) have won three straight since suffering a four-game losing streak.

The Dodgers wasted no time in their continued success at the plate, grabbing the lead in the second inning with back-to-back home runs by Chris Heisey and Andy Wilkins. Heisey led off the inning with a deep drive to center field that just escaped the glove of a leaping Logan Schafer at the wall. Wilkins then delivered an opposite field shot to left field to make it 2-0.

It marked the fourth time this season the Dodgers have hit back-to-back home runs and the 11th straight game where OKC has had at least one homer. 

The Sky Sox (33-54) got on the board in the fourth inning, courtesy of an RBI groundout from Matt Dominguez that cut OKC's lead to 2-1.

The Dodgers added to their lead in the sixth. With runners at first and second and one out, O'Koyea Dickson sent a double to the left-center field gap. Heisey scored, but Wilkins was thrown out at the plate trying to score as well.

The Sky Sox would answer in the bottom of the inning. Elian Herrera led off with a triple, and Schafer followed with a sacrifice fly to pull Colorado Springs within 3-2.

In the top of the seventh, the Dodgers scored twice, using back-to-back RBI doubles by Carl Crawford and Corey Seager to give OKC a 5-2 advantage.

The Sky Sox scored on a RBI single by Rogers in the bottom of the eighth. Colorado Springs had the tying runs on base with one out and the hot hitting Dominguez at the plate. Schafer attempted to steal third base, but he was thrown out by Austin Barnes. Dominguez then grounded out to end the inning.

The Dodgers salted the game away with two more runs in the ninth. 

After missing over a month with a hand injury, Zach Lee earned the win in his return to the Dodgers. Lee (6-3) allowed one run and six hits over five innings. He finished with one walk and one strikeout.

Josh Roenicke took the loss for the Sky Sox, allowing three runs and nine hits over 5.2 innings, with no walks and two strikeouts.

The Dodgers will play their final game before the All-Star Break when they finish their series in Colorado Springs at 2:35 p.m. Central time Sunday afternoon.
