Kim Hye-sung took the field as a defensive replacement. Yamamoto Yoshinobu secured his first win of June.

The Dodgers achieved a complete victory, winning 8-1 against the Colorado Rockies in the '2025 Major League' game held at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, on the 26th (Korea time). The Dodgers marked 50 wins and 31 losses, continuing their three-game winning streak.

The Dodgers' starting lineup includes Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Mookie Betts (shortstop), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Max Muncy (third baseman), Teoscar Hernández (right fielder), Andy Pahos (center fielder), Tommy Edman (second baseman), Michael Conforto (left fielder), and Dalton Rushing (catcher). The starting pitcher is Yamamoto Yoshinobu. Kim Hye-sung was excluded from the starting lineup for the second consecutive game.

Colorado's starting lineup consisted of Tyler Freeman (designated hitter), Hunter Goodman (catcher), Rod Beck (left fielder), Ryan McMahon (third baseman), Tyro Estrada (second baseman), Michael Toglia (first baseman), Mickey Moniak (right fielder), Orlando Arcia (shortstop), and Sam Hilliard (center fielder). Chase Dolander started on the mound.

Yamamoto, who had not secured a win yet in June, had an earned run average of 5.23 (12 earned runs in 20⅔ innings). However, on this day, Yamamoto retired eight batters in a row until there were two outs in the third inning. After allowing a right single to Sam Hilliard with two outs in the third, he got Tyler Freeman to pop out to center field, finishing the third inning. The fourth inning was also a quick three outs. In the fifth inning, he issued a walk to lead-off hitter Tyro Estrada. However, he induced a ground ball from Michael Toglia to create a double play. After eliminating the runner, he struck out Mickey Moniak, recording 1 hit, 1 walk, and 6 strikeouts in 5 innings with no runs allowed. He threw 56 pitches.

With the Dodgers' offense stagnant, a fortunate score came in the sixth inning. Suddenly, a downpour began at the start of the sixth. Lead-off batter Dalton Rushing drew a walk, and Ohtani hit a single to left field, creating a chance with runners on first and second with no outs. Then, Mookie Betts hit a line drive to left field, and Freddie Freeman's ground ball to first set up a situation of two outs with runners on second and third.

At the plate, Max Muncy made contact, but it popped up. It did not leave the infield on the right side. However, due to the sudden downpour, both the first baseman and second baseman lost track of the ball. In the end, nobody caught the ball, resulting in a fortunate two-RBI timely hit.

The game was then interrupted. Approximately 90 minutes were spent on ground maintenance before the game resumed. The resumed game began with two outs and runners on first and second in the sixth inning, continuing with Teoscar Hernández's single to left, putting runners on first and second with two outs, and thanks to Andy Pahos's timely hit, they took a 3-0 lead. All the luck came in the sixth. Although Yamamoto left the mound due to the prolonged rain delay, he earned the chance for a win.

In the follow-up to the top of the seventh, Michael Conforto's single to left, Ohtani's intentional walk, and Freddie Freeman's walk created a bases-loaded situation with two outs, leading to Max Muncy hitting a grand slam to right field, extending the lead to 7-1. In the top of the eighth, Michael Conforto hit another home run for the second consecutive day, leading to a blowout victory. Kim Hye-sung took the field as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the ninth but did not bat.

Ohtani went 2 for 2 with 1 hit, 2 runs, and 2 walks. The bespectacled Muncy exploded again with 2 hits and 6 RBIs.
