Let's talk about the Dodgers for a moment.

On Saturday night, Yoshinobu Yamamoto escaped a scoreless, no-hit game after retiring 26 guys in the game. Jackson Holliday hit a home run… and the Dodgers' reliever finally flinched in a setback against Baltimore.

And last night, though not quite as dramatic, the Dodgers found themselves in a similar situation at home against the poor Rockies.

Tyler Glasnow hadn't given up a hit in seven innings of work when he gave way to relief following an excellent outing. He had given up one run, so we're not talking about a typical scoreless, hitless game that was on the line… and what makes it less impressive.

Blake Treinen came up empty in the eighth and Tanner Scott popped up in the ninth. And from there, the club's trusted reliever gave the Rockies a hit (their first).

It was the Rockies' only hit of the game.

It really wasn't as dramatic as last time, since the Dodgers won their game, the starter was gone and a run had already been given up… but it's noteworthy, nonetheless.

For the Dodgers, who are not in full possession of their resources, to break off another game without a hit is tough.

Note that yesterday, the Padres also won and are still one game away from the top of the division. The Giants also won, as did the Phillies, who faced the Mets. Aaron Nola did well against New York.

The Brewers and Cubs also dropped their games last night, that said.
