DENVER (AP) - Ubaldo Jimenez threw a four-hitter in his first career complete game and Ian Stewart homered and drove in four runs to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 10-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.
Brad Hawpe had three hits, including his 16th homer, and Jeff Baker had four hits for the Rockies, who had 18 hits one night after they had 20.
Jimenez (6-9) gave the Colorado bullpen some much-needed rest after Monday night's 16-10 loss to the Dodgers in which the relievers threw 8 2-3 innings. He allowed Matt Kemp's leadoff homer in the ninth and won for the fifth time in his last seven starts.
Clayton Kershaw (0-3), who was recalled from Double-A before the game, gave up five runs and 10 hits in three-plus innings.
