    Freddie Freeman, Dodgers beat Rockies

    The Dodgers' bats woke up in a nice way on Saturday after taking a snooze for most of the opener against the Colorado Rockies one night earlier. Freeman had two hits with a triple, Andy Pages had three hits and scored twice, and the Dodgers bounced back with a 4-1 win on Saturday. Manager Dave Roberts had noted before the game how the offense had been one of the best in baseball even with Freeman not producing at his usual pace and the bottom of the lineup often struggling. After falling behind 1-0 in the top of the second, Teoscar Hernández scored from first on throwing errors by Elehuris Montero and Sean Bouchard to tie the game, and Jason Heyward's RBI double to the wall in right center put the Dodgers up 2-1.
