The Rockies jumped out to a big lead on Thursday night at Coors Field, then held on to beat the Dodgers 10-7.

Colorado jumped out to a 10-0 lead, highlighted by 2-run doubles from Ian Desmond and Nolan Arenado.  Both of them had two doubles on the night.

Carlos Gonzales snapped out out his slump with 2 hits and 3 runs batted in as well, as the Dodgers had their 5-game win streak snapped.

The Dodgers tried to rally, scoring 7 straight runs, but it was too little too late.  Jeff Hoffman (1-0) picked up the win, allowing 3 runs over 5 1/3 innings after being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque earlier in the day.

Hyun-Jin Ryu (1-5) came off the DL and had a rough start.  He took the loss, allowing ten runs, five of them earned, and walked six over four innings.  His re-instatement sent Kenta Maeda to the DL with a hamstring injury.

Greg Holland picked up his 15th save of the season for the Rockies.  Holland struck out Yasiel Puig with Cody Bellinger standing on 3rd base to end the game.

“It is Coors Field and anything can happen,” said Cody Bellinger.  “Even though we were down 10-0 we were like listen you know where we’re playing.  So we never gave up and we made it close.”

The Dodgers and Rockies will be back at it on Friday.  Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 2.40 ERA) will try to put LA back in the win column, while the Rockies will go with Tyler Chatwood (3-4, 4.74 ERA).
