Recap: Andrew Toles Hits Grand Slam in 10-8 Victory Over Rockies
The Dodgers entered Wednesday’s afternoon game on a negative note since they lost the first game of the double header. Rich Hill was scratched late from the game and replaced with Bud Norris. The Dodgers were down most of the game, but then the 9th inning happened!
Let’s take a look at the highlights!

That wouldn’t last long, however, because the Rockies would put 5 runs on the board in the bottom of the first. 4 of the 5 runs came from a grand slam off the bat of Stephen Cardullo, who was celebrating his 29th birthday.
