Dodgers 8, Rockies 2: Adrian Gonzalez drove in three runs and Matt Kemp went 4-for-5 with two RBIs as Los Angeles beat host Colorado for the third time in four days.
Juan Uribe collected three hits and an RBI while Yasiel Puig scored two runs and drove in another for the Dodgers, who improved to 9-4 against the Rockies this season. Kemp was hitless in 16 at-bats over his previous four games before breaking out on Sunday.
Josh Beckett (6-5) allowed three hits and three walks over five scoreless innings while starting a five-run uprising in the fifth with a one-out double. Four relievers finished up as Los Angeles won for the 14th time in 20 games.
Beckett’s double came against Yohan Flande (0-2), who was charged with five runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. The bases were loaded when Gonzalez stroked a two-run single and Kemp followed with an RBI base hit to center to make it 3-0.
Gonzalez originally was called out at the plate on a fielder’s choice by Uribe, but a replay challenge reversed the call for the inning’s fourth run, and Miguel Rojas was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to make it 5-0. The Dodgers piled on three more runs in the eighth on Puig’s double, Gonzalez’s groundout and Kemp’s single to center.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Colorado SS Troy Tulowitzki (groin) went 1-for-3 and scored twice after sitting out the previous two games, while Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez (calf, hand, shoulder) was rested. … Los Angeles placed Erisbel Arruebarrena (hip) on the 15-day disabled list and recalled fellow INF Carlos Triunfel from Triple-A Albuquerque. … The Rockies placed RHP Nick Masset (knee) on the 15-day disabled list and recalled Brooks Brown – who pitched 1 2/3 hitless innings on Sunday – from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
