Rockies Beat Dodgers 4-3 on Johnston's Go-Ahead Double
In Denver, Troy Johnston delivered a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning to propel the Colorado Rockies to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night, snapping the visitors' four-game winning streak.
Johnston finished with three of the Rockies' seven hits, providing the offensive spark in a game where Colorado's bullpen clamped down on Los Angeles after an early deficit. The Dodgers, who entered with a 6-1 road record this season and victories in 11 of their previous 13 games overall, took a quick 2-0 lead. Shohei Ohtani reached on an error by Johnston to open the first, and Kyle Tucker followed with a two-run homer on the next pitch, his third of the season with Los Angeles.
The Rockies responded immediately, as T.J. Rumfield's RBI single in the bottom of the first cut the margin to 2-1. Dalton Rushing restored the two-run advantage for the Dodgers with a solo homer in the second. Colorado pulled closer in the bottom half when Kyle Karros lofted a sacrifice fly, scoring Johnston, who had singled, stolen second and advanced on a groundout, making it 3-2.
Starter Ryan Feltner steadied for the Rockies, allowing three runs, two earned, on five hits over 5...
