Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies: Final Score & Recap

The Los Angeles Dodgers dismantled the Colorado Rockies 7-1 at Coors Field on April 17, 2026, holding Colorado to just two hits across nine innings. The DiamondIQ model's estimate opened with Colorado at a 39 percent chance of winning at home, a figure that eroded steadily and finished at zero percent as Los Angeles built an early and insurmountable advantage through the first five innings.

Max Muncy was the central force behind the offensive demolition, accounting for the three most impactful plays of the game by win probability. His double off Tomoyuki Sugano in the third inning was the single biggest swing of the night, adding 10.7 percent to the Dodgers' win probability as Los Angeles pushed its lead to three runs. He had already gone deep against Sugano in the second inning for a 4.6 percent swing, and then added a solo home run off Zach Agnos in the fifth for another 4.7 percent. Muncy finished with a combined WPA of plus-20.1 and an RE24 of plus-3.2, making him clearly the game's most decisive offensive performer. Will Smith provided additional support with a fourth-inning single off Sugano that added 4.1 percent to the Dodgers' win probability, finishing with a WPA of plus-6.8. Colorado's best moment came in the third when Edouard Julien grounded into a double play against Tyler Glasnow, a sequence that swung 4.4 percent back toward the Rockies, though it proved inconsequential.

Glasnow was dominant on the mound, finishing as the game's top pitcher by WPA at plus-12.2, limiting Colorado's offense and keeping the Rockies' lineup off balance throughout his outing. Los Angeles went on to collect 13 hits without committing an error, while Colorado managed only two hits against a Dodgers pitching staff that completed the victory cleanly with Jack Dreyer and Brennan Bernardino each finishing at plus-0.0 WPA in relief.
