The monkey is off their back.
Corey Seager hit a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers finally vanquished a left-handed starter, beating the Rockies, 10-6, to avoid the sweep in Colorado.
Through a blistering wind, like a leviathan, the Dodgers dodged trash and other debris on the field to score seven runs with two outs in order to beat the Rockies at Coors Field for the first time this year.
It was the 98th time the Dodgers have defeated the Rockies at Coors Field, more than any other visiting team in Rockies franchise history.
Seager was 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored, Justin Turner had two RBI and second baseman Logan Forsythe was 3-for-5 with two runs scored.
