Jorge De La Rosa threw seven impressive innings, allowing just two runs, but it was enough for the Los Angeles Dodgers to claim a 5-0 decision over the Rockies to start a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
Adrian Gonzalez had a fourth-inning RBI single that drove in Chase Utley to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead and it would prove to be enough on a night where a fill-in starter for Los Angeles looked as much like Clayton Kershaw as Kershaw would have if he was able to make the start he was scheduled to make on Friday night.
