DENVER — Time and again, Dave Roberts has insisted his Los Angeles Dodgers team doesn’t have any major needs heading into Tuesday’s trade deadline.
On Friday night at Coors Field, however, they were reminded of one of the biggest issues they have to address.
Although the Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies for a second straight night, prevailing 5-4 behind early two-run home runs from Will Smith and Trayce Thompson plus a strong seven-inning start from left-hander Julio Urias, the game finished much closer than it should have been.
