DENVER — Max Muncy launched two home runs, Dalton Rushing added a pair of solo shots, and the Los Angeles Dodgers pounded the Colorado Rockies 12-2 on Sunday at Coors Field, salvaging a split of the four-game series with a dominant offensive explosion.

The Dodgers trailed 1-0 after the first inning but quickly seized control, scoring in four consecutive frames from the second through the fifth. Muncy tied the game with a solo homer in the second, his seventh of the season, and Miguel Rojas followed immediately with a back-to-back blast to give Los Angeles a 2-1 lead. Rojas also collected his 1,000th career hit later in the game, a milestone moment that drew a fist pump as he reached first base.

Shohei Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 52 games, moving within one of Shawn Green’s franchise record of 53 set in 2000. Ohtani reached base three times, including a single in the third inning that pushed his streak forward, and stole his first base of the season. He also drew an intentional walk in the sixth that loaded the bases and led to a run-scoring walk by Alex Call, making it 6-1.

Justin Robleski delivered the best start of his young Dodgers career, working seven innings and allowing just one run on five hits. He struck out five and walked none, lowering his ERA to 3.18. Robleski retired 10 of the final 11 batters he faced, mixing a sharp fastball with a devastating changeup that kept Rockies hitters off balance. The only blemish came in the first inning when Brenton Doyle doubled home a run after Jordan Beck led off with a double.

The Dodgers broke the game open in the eighth and ninth innings. Rushing led off the eighth with a 385-foot opposite-field homer, his sixth of the season, and Teoscar Hernandez added an RBI single later in the frame. TJ Rumfield crushed a 440-foot solo shot in the ninth, his third of the year, and Muncy followed with his second homer of the game, a towering drive to left field that marked his 22nd career multi-homer game. Rushing then went back-to-back with Muncy, launching his seventh homer of the season and second of the game, capping a 12-run outburst.

The Rockies took an early lead when Beck doubled and Doyle followed with a double to left-center, scoring Beck. But the Dodgers answered immediately, and Colorado never recovered. The Rockies managed just five hits off Robleski and reliever Edgardo Enriquez, who pitched a scoreless eighth inning. Kyle Caros doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly in the ninth, but the rally fell short.

Defensive miscues plagued the Rockies throughout the game. In the first inning, first baseman Michael Toglia mishandled a throw from shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, allowing Ohtani to reach safely. In the third, third baseman Nolan Jones couldn’t handle a spinning ground ball, allowing Ohtani to score from second. The Dodgers capitalized on every mistake, turning errors into runs.

Ohtani’s on-base streak now stands at 52 games, tying him with Shawn Green for second place in Dodgers franchise history. The all-time record is held by Duke Snider, who reached base in 54 consecutive games in 1954. Ohtani has a chance to tie Snider’s mark in the upcoming series against the San Diego Padres.

The Dodgers improved to 14-8 with the win, while the Rockies fell to 9-13. Los Angeles returns home for a three-game set against the Padres beginning Tuesday. Colorado heads to Arizona for a four-game series against the Diamondbacks.

Manager Dave Roberts praised his team’s resilience after dropping the first two games of the series. “We came out flat the first two nights, but the guys responded,” Roberts said. “Muncy set the tone, Rushing continues to impress, and Robleski was outstanding. That’s the kind of performance we need.”

Rushing, a rookie catcher who has emerged as a key contributor, now has seven home runs and 18 RBIs in 22 games. His two-homer performance marked the first multi-homer game of his career. “I’m just trying to put good swings on pitches in the zone,” Rushing said. “The guys in front of me are getting on base, and I’m getting pitches to hit.”

Muncy’s two homers gave him eight on the season, tying him with Ohtani for the team lead. He also walked twice and scored three times. “I feel good at the plate right now,” Muncy said. “We’re swinging the bats well as a team, and that’s a good sign.”

The Rockies, meanwhile, struggled to generate offense outside of the first inning. Doyle finished 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, but the rest of the lineup combined for just three hits. Manager Bud Black acknowledged the Dodgers’ pitching staff shut them down. “Robleski was sharp,” Black said. “He located his fastball and mixed in his off-speed stuff effectively. We couldn’t get anything going after the first.”

The series split leaves the Rockies at .500 over their last 10 games, but they remain in fourth place in the National League West. The Dodgers, meanwhile, sit in second place, two games behind the division-leading Padres.

Ohtani’s on-base streak has become a focal point of the early season, drawing comparisons to some of the greatest hitters in franchise history. He has reached base in every game since March 30, a span of 52 games. “It’s incredible to watch,” Roberts said. “He’s seeing the ball well, taking his walks, and hitting the ball hard. He’s locked in.”

The Dodgers will look to carry the momentum from Sunday’s win into the Padres series. Los Angeles has won four of its last six games and is averaging 6.2 runs per game over that stretch. The pitching staff has a 3.45 ERA in the same span.

For the Rockies, the focus shifts to Arizona, where they will face a Diamondbacks team that has struggled early in the season. Colorado hopes to build on the positives from the series, including the strong start from Jose Quintana on Saturday and the continued development of young players like Beck and Caros.

The game ended with a flyout to right field, sealing the Dodgers’ most lopsided win of the season. The final score of 12-2 reflected the dominance of Los Angeles’ offense and the effectiveness of Robleski’s outing. The Dodgers outhit the Rockies 14-5 and drew five walks, capitalizing on nearly every opportunity.

As the teams parted ways, the Dodgers boarded their flight to Los Angeles with a renewed sense of confidence. The Rockies, meanwhile, headed to Phoenix searching for consistency. Both teams know the season is still young, but Sunday’s result served as a reminder of the gap between the two clubs.

The Dodgers will send Tyler Glasnow to the mound Tuesday against the Padres, while the Rockies will counter with Zac Gallen in Arizona. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. local time.
