The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 4-2 in 13 innings, halting a brief two-game skid. The Dodgers won on the heroics of Andre Ethier, who lined a homer into right-field with a runner on. Randy Wolf gave up two runs in six innings, but helped is cause with a two-run single that tied the game. The bullpen held serve for the rest of the game, throwing seven scoreless combined innings, allowing only two hits and one walk while striking out 13. Juan Pierre had three hits, and Casey Blake scored the winning run. Matt Kemp and Russell Martin both had a hit and run scored. James McDonald received his second career win after pitching a perfect 13th. Ryan Spillborghs hit a two-run homer for the Rockies, their only offense of the game.
Manny Ramirez went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts in his final rehab appearance for Single-A Inland Empire.
The Dodgers saw a familiar face in the visitor's dugout in the form of Jim Tracy. Tracy managed the Dodgers from 2001 to 2005, taking them to the playoffs just once in 2004. Tracy is the interim manager of the Rockies, having assumed the job after Clint Hurdle was fired.
