DENVER (AP) - James Loney drove in five runs, including a bases-clearing triple in the fifth, and Matt Kemp had two doubles as part of an eight-run opening inning, propelling the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 16-10 rout of the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.
The Dodgers set season highs in runs, hits (18) and hits in an inning (seven) as they won for the fourth time of their last five games to remain tied with Arizona for first in the NL West.
Kip Wells, who was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list before the game, had a frightful first, throwing 40 pitches and getting just one out before being yanked by manager Clint Hurdle. The righty plodded off the field to a smattering of boos.
