Rockies 5, Dodgers 3

The Dodgers fail to win the rubber match of the series and head home losing two in a row.

Glendon Rusch got the win, he's 4-3. Hiroki Kuroda took the loss, he's 5-7. Brian Fuentes picked up his 17th save.

Kuroda had a better outing than his last, but still managed to give up five runs over six innings on nine hits and a walk. Chan Ho Park pitched two scoreless innings in relief.

The Dodger offense struggled to mount much offense against Rockies starter Rusch. He went five innings, giving up three runs, and the Rockies bullpen shut down the Dodgers the rest of the way. The Dodgers did manage to collect 11 hits, but ultimately left 18 runners on base.

The Dodgers are off on Thursday as they head home to host the Washington Nationals for a three game series starting Friday at 7:40 L.A. time.

Also: Juan Pierre in a rehab start for Triple-A went 2-2 with a walk and two runs scored. He could return by the weekend.
