DENVER — Denver Cannabis Week 2026 culminated with the Mile High 420 Festival in downtown Denver on Monday. Out at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, high priest Snoop Dogg performed with Ice Cube for the occasion.
But at Coors Field, the fog lifted and the Dodgers sobered up after back-to-back losses, earning a split of their four-game series with a 12-3 thumping of the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.
The Dodgers hit five home runs in the game, including Max Muncy’s second two-homer game of the series and Dalton Rushing’s second multi-homer game in just seven starts this season.
Justin Wrobleski opened the season as the swingman on the Dodgers’ pitching staff. With Blake Snell and Gavin Stone injured (and River Ryan being eased back from Tommy John surgery), the final spot when the Dodgers eventually went to a six-man rotation fell to Wrobleski
He is quickly proving to be one of the most reliable members of that rotation.
He allowed a first-inning run Monday, then scattered eight hits over seven innings.
In three starts this month, Wrobleski has allowed just two runs on 12 hits in 20 innings. Against the Rockies, he worked out of danger in the second inning after singles put runners at the corners with two outs, again in the fifth after Kyle Karros’ leadoff double and left runners at the corners in the seventh.
Wrobleski only struck out three but he kept his fielders busy in the expansive outfield at Coors Field. Teoscar Hernandez, Andy Pages and Alex Call (giving Kyle Tucker the night off) ran down 10 fly balls in Wrobleski’s seven innings.
The Dodgers gave him an early lead thanks to back-to-back home runs by Muncy and Miguel Rojas in the second inning. It was the first back-to-back home runs by the Dodgers (who lead the majors in home runs) this season and Rojas’ first homer since his game-tying blast in the ninth-inning of Game 7 of the World Series.
His home run was the first of three hits in the game for Rojas – the 999th, 1,000th and 1,001st of his MLB career. The milestone hit – a single through the left side of the infield – prompted Rojas to pump his fist as he ran to first base and point to the sky. Rojas’ father died earlier this month.
The Dodgers kept passing the hits around the rest of the night, collecting 15 while scoring in seven innings.
In the third inning, Shohei Ohtani led off with a single, extending his on-base streak to 52 games (the third-longest by a Dodger since 1900). Call followed with a single and Ohtani scored when Karros booted Will Smith’s ground ball to third base. Call scored when Hernandez bounced into a double play.
The Dodgers loaded the bases for Ohtani with one out in the fourth inning. He lined into an inning-ending double play – but Rockies starter Jose Quintana was called for a balk. A run scored, the double play was erased and Ohtani got another chance. He grounded out and nothing more came of it.
Muncy led off the sixth with a single. The Dodgers loaded the bases again with two outs when the Rockies intentionally walked Ohtani. Call worked a five-pitch walk to force in another run.
Singles by Pages and Muncy set up a run-scoring sacrifice bunt by Rojas in the seventh. Rushing – getting the start at first base with Freddie Freeman on paternity leave – led off the eighth inning with his first home run of the night. Hernandez turned around an 0-for-12 series with an RBI single in the eighth, leaving Smith as the only player in the Dodgers’ lineup who didn’t get a hit Monday.
Muncy hit his second home run of the night in the ninth inning. He was on base five times Monday – two homers, two singles and a walk – and scored four runs. Rushing made it seven home runs in just 27 at-bats this season with his second of the night later that inning.
