Troncoso Helps Dodgers Slip Past Rox

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-5, their fifth straight win over the Rox. James McDonald gave up five runs in five innings of work, but because the Dodgers scored six runs and he left with the lead intact, he got the first win of his career. Ramon Troncoso pitched four scoreless innings of relief, getting the first save of his career. The Dodgers scored four runs in the first inning and never looked back, despite the Rockies cutting the lead to one run twice. Russell Martin had a single, a double, and four RBI's, and James Loney got on base four times, twice by hit and twice by walk. Orlando Hudson had a double, and Andre Ethier scored twice. Garrett Atkins hit a two-run homer for Colorado, and Brad Hawpe had two hits and two RBI's.
