LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Aaron Miles scored the tying run on a balk by Esmil Rogers, and James Loney and Matt Kemp capped a six-run seventh inning by the Los Angeles Dodgers with consecutive homers in a 6-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday night.
Ted Lilly (8-13) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings, struck out five and walked one to win for the first time since July 29 against Arizona. The only run that came off the left-hander was Carlos Gonzalez's 24th homer on the first pitch with two outs in the first inning.
Rogers (6-3) took a four-hitter and a 1-0 lead into the seventh before the Dodgers loaded the bases with no one out. Andre Ethier tried to score on a fly ball to center by Jamey Carroll, but was tagged out by Elizer Alfonzo after running through third base coach Tim Wallach's stop sign.
