DENVER (Interstat) — Troy Johnston delivered a go-ahead, two-run double in the sixth inning and the Colorado bullpen silenced the majors’ most productive offense over the final three innings to secure a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night at Coors Field.

A crowd of 47,925 watched the Rockies snap a run of futility against the National League West leaders, improving to just 6-22 against Los Angeles over the past three seasons, including 4-12 in Denver. The Dodgers, who had won 11 of their previous 13 games and entered with a 6-1 road record, fell to 15-5. Colorado moved to 8-13.

The game pivoted decisively in the bottom of the sixth. Trailing 3-2, Colorado’s Hunter Goodman led off with a sharp double to center off Dodgers reliever Will Klein. Ezequiel Tovar followed with an infield single that deflected off Klein, moving Goodman to third. Johnston then laced a line drive into the gap in left-center, scoring both runners to give the Rockies their first lead at 4-3. Johnston finished 3 for 4 with the two crucial RBIs.

That rally made a winner of reliever Brennan Bernardino (2-0), who recorded four outs in scoreless fashion. It also handed Klein (1-1) the loss after he surrendered two runs on three hits in his lone inning of work.

The Dodgers had struck quickly against Rockies starter Ryan Feltner. Shohei Ohtani reached on a throwing error by Johnston at first base to open the game, and Kyle Tucker followed by launching a two-run homer, his third of the year, to right-center. Los Angeles added another run in the second when catcher Dalton Rushing hit a solo shot, his fifth, to right field.

Colorado chipped away with single runs in the first and second innings. Mickey Moniak doubled and scored on TJ Rumfield’s single in the first. In the second, Johnston singled, advanced on a groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly by Kyle Karros.

From there, the pitchers took control. Feltner, Colorado’s top star, steadied after the early trouble. He lasted 5 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits while striking out five, a marked improvement over his recent outings where he had allowed 10 earned runs in 9 1/3 innings.

Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan was equally effective, yielding two runs on four hits over five innings, striking out four.

The Dodgers threatened in the eighth, putting runners at second and third with one out after a catcher’s interference call and a single, but Freddie Freeman flew out and Teoscar Hernández walked to load the bases. Rockies reliever Jaden Hill then induced a groundout from Max Muncy to end the threat.

In the ninth, Rockies closer Victor Vodnik allowed back-to-back, two-out singles to Will Smith and Ohtani, bringing Tucker back to the plate as the winning run. Tucker, who had three hits including the homer, then popped out to left field on Vodnik’s final pitch, sealing the save, Vodnik’s third of the season.

Los Angeles finished with eight hits to Colorado’s seven. The Dodgers’ bullpen, aside from Klein’s sixth inning, was sharp, with Edgardo Henriquez and Alex Vesia each tossing a scoreless inning. The Rockies’ relief corps of Bernardino, Hill and Vodnik combined for 3 1/3 shutout innings, allowing just three hits.

The game time was 2 hours, 35 minutes. The result defied pregame projections, as statistical models heavily favored the Dodgers with an 80 percent win probability and a predicted final score of 8-3.

The two teams continue their four-game series Sunday afternoon at Coors Field.
