Following a first-inning rain delay of 38 minutes, Gonzalez drove in the first run of the game on a groundout to first in the third inning, and capped off a three-run fourth with an RBI fielder's choice. The Rockies chased Dodgers starter Brandon McCarthy that inning after he walked the first two batters, both of whom scored on Nick Hundley's double and Charlie Blackmon's hit by pitch. Colorado added three more in the sixth off Jesse Chavez on Gonzalez's two-run double and Mark Reynolds' single.
The Dodgers could not figure out Jon Gray, who earned his first win against the team with five scoreless innings.
