Dodgers Continue Onslaught

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 7-1, their seventh win in nine games. The Dodgers jumped on the board early, scoring a run in the first inning, and never looked back. Eric Milton was able to go five innings and received his first win in two years. Juan Pierre had three hits, including a triple, scored twice and knocked in two runs, and Casey Blake had a 3-run double. Brad Ausmus singled twice and scored two runs, and Orlando Hudson reached base four times, twice by a hit, and knocked in and scored a run. Juan Castro enjoyed his third straight start by getting two hits and a walk and scoring a run. Not one Rocky had more than one base-hit, while Clint Barmes hit a homer for Colorado's only run.
