Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Enrique Hernandez homered and singled twice, Teoscar Hernadez also went deep and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 13-2 in Denver on Saturday night.
Shohei Ohtani had two hits to raise his average to .310, four points behind San Diego's Luis Arraez with one game left in his bid to be the National League's first Triple Crown winner in 1937. Ohtani also stole his 58th base.
Arraez did not play in the Padres' 5-0 win at Arizona.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (7-2), making his fourth start since missing three months with a torn rotator cuff, allowed two runs on four hits and struck out six in five innings. Chris Taylor and Gavin Lux had three hits each and Will Smith and Max Muncy contributed two hits for Los Angeles, which totaled 18 hits.
Ezeqiel Tovar homered among his three hits, Nolan Jones had two hits and Charlie Blackmon singled and scored a run for Colorado.
Blackmon, playing the penultimate game of his career, singled to lead off the bottom of the first, went to third on Tovar's base hit and scored on a sacrifice fly to give Colorado a 1-0 lead.
The Dodgers answered in the second. Smith singled with one out, Tommy Edman walked and Enrique Hernandez homered to center -- his 12th of the season -- to make it 3-1.
Los Angeles tacked on another run in the third when Mookie Betts led off with a double, moved to third on a flyout and scored on a passed ball.
Tovar hit his 26th homer in the bottom of the inning to make it 4-2 but the Dodgers got it back on Kevin Kiermaier's RBI single in the fourth.
Los Angeles put it away in the fifth when Ohtani and Lux walked to finish Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela's night. Senzatela (0-1) allowed seven runs (six earned) on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Teoscar Hernandez greeted reliever Jeff Criswell with his 33rd home run to make it 8-2. Hernandez has 99 RBIs.
The Dodgers scored a run in the eighth and four more in the ninth to make it a blowout.
