3-game sweep

DENVER (AP) --- Mookie Betts homered and capped a three-hit night with an RBI
single in the 10th inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado
Rockies 6-4 on Wednesday.
Kik Hernndez also went deep and Kyle Tucker had two hits as the Dodgers
completed a three-game sweep.
Mickey Moniak hit a tying two-run homer in the seventh, his 20th, and had three
hits for the Rockies.
Colorado who lost starter Kyle Freeland with two outs in the fourth inning.
Freeland grabbed at his back after delivering a pitch to Ben Rortvedt, who
flied out on the play, and was removed after allowing four runs on six hits.
The Rockies said he had neck tightness.
Teoscar Hernndez led off the 10th with a single off Jimmy Herget (0-5) and
Freddie Freeman's sacrifice fly scored automatic runner Andy Pages. Betts
followed with a single up the middle to drive in Hernndez.
Kyle Hurt (4-1) pitched the ninth and Tanner Scott got the final three outs for
his 18th save.
Rookie left-hander Mark Manfredi, acquired from Milwaukee for Antonio
Senzatela, relieved Freeland and made his major league debut against Shohei
Ohtani. He walked the four-time MVP and gave up a single to Pages before
getting out of the inning.
Manfredi pitched a clean fifth and left after striking out two in 1 1/3 innings.
Los Angeles built a 4-0 lead against Freeland on Kik Hernndez's RBI single in
the second and his two-run homer in the fourth, which followed Betts' shot to
lead off the inning.
Adael Amador had a two-run double in the bottom half.
Ohtani finished 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.
