Rockies rally in 9th, beat LA 5-2 in rare Dodger Stadium win

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nolan Arenado drove in the tiebreaking run in the ninth inning, pinch-hitter Josh Fuentes added a two-run double and the Colorado Rockies snapped the Los Angeles Dodgers' six-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory Saturday night.

Charlie Blackmon homered, doubled and scored two runs as Colorado won for just the second time in its last 19 games at Dodger Stadium. The Rockies had lost 24 of their last 28 meetings overall with their powerhouse NL West rivals before they rallied late against the Dodgers' vaunted bullpen.

Mookie Betts had two hits for the major league-leading Dodgers (30-11), who lost for only the fourth time in 23 games. Los Angeles’ 11-game winning streak at Dodger Stadium, its longest since 2017, also ended.

The Rockies jumped all over Blake Treinen (3-2), who had allowed an earned run in just two of his 17 appearances this season. Raimel Tapia, Trevor Story and Arenado opened the ninth with consecutive singles to chase the right-hander.

Fuente then connected for a bases-loaded double off Alex Wood, setting off another wild celebration in the visitors' dugout. Every win is vital to the flagging playoff hopes of the Rockies, who had lost 17 of 24.

Yency Almonte (2-0) pitched the eighth, and Daniel Bard earned his fifth save.

Tony Gonsolin pitched six innings of three-hit ball with a career high-tying eight strikeouts for the Dodgers in his first start since they officially gave him a rotation spot by trading Ross Stripling to Toronto.

Gonsolin had been outstanding in limited action this season, allowing just one earned run over four spot starts while going up and down from Los Angeles’ alternate training site. He allowed one more earned run against the Rockies, boosting his ERA all the way to 0.76.
