DENVER — Kyle Freeland pitched six strong innings, Wade Davis worked out of a ninth-inning jam and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 on Saturday night to remain atop the NL West.
Chris Iannetta and Charlie Blackmon homered for Colorado, and Davis allowed a run before striking out Yasmani Grandal with a man aboard to finish his 39th save.
Colorado moved 1 1/2 games ahead the second-place Dodgers. The Rockies are alone in first place after August for the first time since 1995 and have never won a division title.
Chris Taylor homered for Los Angeles, which made it interesting in the ninth.
