Ezequiel Tovar doubled and scored on Warming Bernabel's single in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Colorado Rockies a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday in Denver.
Tovar also homered to help Colorado end a 10-game losing streak against Los Angeles. Six of those games were this year.
Dodgers reliever Justin Wrobleski (4-5) retired Jordan Beck on a fly ball to start the ninth, but Tovar's blooper to right fell for a double. Bernabel followed with his single to center.
Victor Vodnik (4-3) pitched a perfect top of the ninth and Brenton Doyle had two hits for the Rockies, who have won four straight and six of the past seven.
Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman had two hits apiece for the Dodgers, who were coming off a three-game weekend sweep of the San Diego Padres that moved them back into first place in the National League West.
The Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Alex Call and Miguel Rojas began the frame with singles, and both moved up on a wild pitch by Kyle Freeland. Call scored on Dalton Rushing's sacrifice fly, and Rojas came home on a two-out single by Ohtani.
Colorado answered in the third inning. Yoshinobu Yamamoto walked Kyle Karros to lead off the frame. Doyle singled, and both moved up on a throw to third. Ryan Ritter shot a single through the hole on the right side of the infield to drive in both runs and tie the game.
Freeland breezed through the fourth, striking out two batters looking, but opened a blister on his pitching hand. He came out for the fifth but was replaced before throwing a pitch.
The left-hander allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five in four innings.
Los Angeles went back ahead in the sixth when Freeman drew a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on pinch hitter Alex Freeland's two-out double to center.
The Rockies responded in the seventh inning when Tovar hit his seventh homer of the season, a blast into Colorado's bullpen. Colorado subsequently had runners on first and third with two outs, but Yamamoto got Ritter to ground out to end the inning.
Yamamoto allowed three runs on four hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out six.
