Dodgers Take Come-From-Behind to Extend Streak

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 4-3, their sixth straight win. The game was in jeopardy going into the bottom of the seventh with LA trailing 3-0, but the boys in blue scored four runs in the inning to secure the win. Randy Wolf gave up the three runs in the first inning, but pitched perfectly after that, allowing only one hit in the other five innings while striking out seven. Rafael Furcal, Orlando Hudson, Manny Ramirez, Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier each reached base in the deciding seventh, and Mark Loretta had the game-winning RBI by driving in Ethier who reached second on a double. Kemp also had a double. Jonathan Broxton had a five-out save while striking out four to secure his fourth save of the season. Brad Hawpe had a two-run homer for the Rockies, and Garrett Atkins had a double, RBI, and run scored.
