Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez homered, Dee
Gordon tripled and Paul Maholm pitched seven innings and gave up two runs on
seven hits tonight as the Dodgers downed Colorado 6-3 to remain a half game
behind San Francisco in the NL West.
Hanley Ramirez injured his thumb while batting
and left the game early. X-rays were negative.
Gordon started a Dodger rally in the third
inning with a triple to center field.
Yasiel Puig was then hit by a pitch, Gordon
scored on a Ramirez ground ball and Puig scored on a
Gonzalez sacrifice fly. Kemp then went yard to right center and the Dodgers had
a 3-1 lead.
The Dodgers added a run in the fourth when Puig
doubled home Drew Butera and Gonzalez went opposite field for a
solo homer off Juan Nicasio to boost the Dodgers' lead to 5-2.
Brian Wilson came on in relief in the ninth
inning but had control problems and walked two batters. Mattingly had to call
on Kenley Jansen to quell the Colorado comeback in the ninth, striking out two
batters to get the save.
Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-1) faces Jorge De La Rosa in the
