The Los Angeles Dodgers knew they couldn't mess around at Coors Field.

If there was ever a time to get this offense back on track, it was now. The Dodgers did just that, handling the Colorado Rockies, 11-5.

Obviously, the back-to-back World Series champions shouldn't have any issues beating the team that's last place in their division.

This was a big win for the Dodgers for many reasons, and while all eyes were on a stellar offensive showing, Kyle Tucker once again had a rough moment, as did Edwin Diaz. 

Racking up three home runs on 14 hits is one thing, but in no world should the Dodgers' $240 million outfielder and $69 million closer be struggling as much as they are.

On a night when the Dodgers had 14 hits, Tucker went 0-for-5 and never got on base. It'd be one thing if it was just his offense or defense that were broken, but this is a guy who's struggling in every aspect of the game.

The 29-year-old's batting average is down to .230. He's hit 11 homers this year to go along with 54 RBIs, but his .692 OPS is nowhere near where it was in previous years. He has the most defensive errors he's had during a single season in his nine-year career, and his 0.1 WAR is beyond dreadful, knowing it's been as high as 5.7.

As for Diaz, pitching at elevation is never easy, but the Dodgers' first three arms had no issue doing so. Diaz gave up three of the team's five runs, and it should be noted that Alex Vesia's was unearned due to Tucker's error in right field.

Diaz's ERA for the year is up to 11.85. He once again needed 20+ pitches to get out of an appearance, and this is a game where the Dodgers didn't even need him pitching in the first place. Clearly, manager Dave Roberts thought he was doing the right thing, but it backfired as Diaz allowed four hits and three earned runs.

Neither of these two players was necessarily struggling to the likes of Diaz or Tucker, but it sure was great to see them combine for three homers and six RBIs in this series opener.

They weren't the only two who contributed in a big way, but Shohei Ohtani went 4-for-5 on the night with two homers, three RBIs, and four runs. 

As for Max Muncy, he hit his 25th home run of the year as he went 2-for-4 with a home run, walk, two runs, and three RBIs.

Elsewhere, it was a three-hit night for both Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages. Those two were a huge part of the win as they combined for four runs and three RBIs.
