Alex Wood pitched the best game of his young career against the Colorado Rockies only allowing one hit in eight innings on only 78 pitches. With only a 2-0 lead and with a big lead in the National League West, Manager Don Mattingly elected not to send Wood out for the ninth inning. He sent out close Kenley Jansen to finish off the game and he gave up a hit before earning his 32nd save.
Catcher A.J. Ellis continued his second half resurgence, hitting his sixth homerun of the season, a solo shot in the second inning. Ellis has batted .270 over his last 30 games also hitting all six of his homeruns. He has settled into a backup role behind starter Yasmani Grandal but Ellis playing time has increased down the stretch.
