Taylor hits deciding HR as LA wins Coors slugfest

Chris Taylor slugged a three-run homer, tripled and drove in four runs to power the Dodgers to an 11-8 comeback win over the Rockies on Friday night in a game that featured Scott Alexander’s four-out debut as a starting pitcher and Dennis Santana’s busy debut as a Major Leaguer. The Dodgers trail first-place Colorado by three games, their smallest deficit since April 3.
