Rockies 7, Dodgers 7
Thursday at Camelback Ranch, Glendale, Ariz.
On the mound: In his second start of the spring, Chad Bettis gave up two runs on three hits and a walk across three innings while inducing five groundball outs … Top pitching prospect Peter Lambert didn’t fare well, as the right-hander surrendered three runs on three hits, a walk and a homer over two innings.
At the plate: David Dahl and Brendan Rodgers drove home runs in the top of the first, and Rodgers had another RBI in the third to score Dahl … Ian Desmond recorded his first spring homer — and first spring hit — in his fourth at-bat of the 2019 Cactus League, sending Michael Boyle’s 3-2 pitch out beyond the left-field bullpen … Noel Cuevas was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, while Colton Welker had a two-run dinger in the eighth.
Up next: Rockies (2-3-1) at Athletics (2-5), 1:05 p.m., Hohokam Stadium
