Will Smith hit a two-run homer, Julio UrÃas tossed six scoreless innings to outpitch Germán Márquez, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Tuesday night.
Jason Heyward homered for the second consecutive game and Max Muncy added a solo shot for the Dodgers, who have gone deep in six straight games. Their 13 homers lead the majors.
Smith got his third RBI of the game with a double that scored Mookie Betts in the eighth for a 5-0 lead.
Colorado scored twice in the ninth and had the bases loaded when pinch-hitter Charlie Blackmon grounded out to end the game.
Evan Phillips earned his first save of the season.
UrÃas (2-0) recorded his 600th career strikeout in the first when Kris Bryant went down swinging.
The left-hander allowed five hits, with baserunners aboard in each of the first three innings, before retiring the final 11 batters he faced. UrÃas struck out six on another unusually cold and windy night at Dodger Stadium.
UrÃas pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the third. Ezequiel Tovar and Jurickson Profar singled back-to-back, and Yonathan Daza reached on a bunt single to third. Bryant took a called third strike before C.J. Cron grounded into a double play to end the threat.
Márquez (1-1) gave up four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out four and walked two.
The Rockies started the game 5 for 11 and then went 0 for 17 until Bryant doubled leading off the ninth against Phil Bickford. Bryant scored on Elehuris Montero's double.
The Rockies proceeded to load the bases when Phillips hit Elias Diaz in the hand with a pitch. Pinch-hitter Mike Moustakas' sacrifice fly made it 5-2 before Blackmon grounded out to first.
