LOS ANGELES -- Dee Gordon had four hits, including a triple that was misplayed
into four bases by left fielder Charlie Blackmon, and Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched six
strong innings to help the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Colorado 6-1 on Monday night
and snap the Rockies season-best five-game winning streak.
Cheap NHL Jerseys . Ryu (8-3) allowed a run
and three hits in six innings and struck out six in his 13th start. In his first
13 starts last season -- his first in the major leagues -- the left-hander was
8-5 with a 2.85 ERA. This was the ninth time this year that Ryu has allowed
fewer than three earned runs, and he is 7-0 in those games. Matt Kemp drove in
two runs for Los Angeles, while Hanley Ramirez, A.J. Ellis and Yasiel Puig had
RBI singles. Ryu and four relievers retired 16 of the final 17 Colorado batters
after Wilin Rosarios two-out homer in the fourth. Tyler Matzek (1-1) allowed
three runs and 10 hits through five innings in his second big league start and
did not strike out a batter, five days after giving up two runs over seven
innings and fanning seven in an 8-2 victory over Atlanta at Coors Field. The
Dodgers opened the scoring in the third, as Gordon circled the bases on a ball
that Blackmon had trouble picking up twice in the corner. First, he stumbled
while bending down for it against the lower fence in foul ground and had to
chase it back into fair territory -- where he missed on his second attempt to
grab it. By the time Blackmon relayed it back to the infield, it was way too
late to get Gordon, who was credited with his major league-leading seventh
triple. Kemp singled home a run later that inning and doubled home a run on the
sixth. He started in the cleanup spot for the fifth time this season, and the
Dodgers have won every time. Regular cleanup hitter Adrian Gonzalez got the
night off while Scott Van Slyke played first base. Gordon, who leads the majors
with 36 stolen bases, was thrown out for the sixth time -- by Rosario in the
first inning. The Rockies 22-year-old catcher trimmed the Dodgers lead to 2-1 in
the fourth with his seventh homer, driving an 0-2 pitch into the pavilion in
left field with two outs. But Ellis got that run back in the fifth with just his
second RBI of an injury-plagued season in which the Dodgers No.1 catcher missed
34 games because of knee surgery and sat out another 18 with a sprained right
ankle. Ellis two singles raised his average from .196 to .222. NOTES: A moment
of silence was observed for Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, who died Monday at age 54.
Gwynns brother Chris and son Tony both played for the Dodgers. "He was just a
genius with the bat," Dodgers Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully said. ...
Perhaps the biggest of Gwynns 140 career hits at Dodger Stadium came on Sept.
28, 1996, when his tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth inning off
Mark Guthrie helped clinched a post-season berth for the Padres. The following
day, brother Chris hit a two-run double in the 11th as a pinch-hitter to help
the Padres win 2-0 and wrap up the NL West title. ... Forget about RHP
Chad Billingsley rejoining the Dodgers roster before the end of the season. He
has a torn flexor tendon in his right elbow, which will require surgery next
Tuesday. Billingsley hasnt pitched in a major league game since April 15, 2013,
nine days before he underwent Tommy John surgery. ... The Rockies optioned
struggling RHP Juan Nicasio to Triple-A Colorado Springs and promoted OF-1B Kyle
Parker from the Sky Sox. Parker, selected in the first round of the 2010 draft,
made his big league debut in the eighth inning as a pinch-hitter and struck out.

million, four-year contract to remain with Miami. The deal, which includes $16
million guaranteed, rewards Grimes for his recovery from an Achilles tendon
injury that forced him to miss almost all of the 2012 season.

the Predators a lead that Pekka Rinne protected in the final seconds.Cullen

slumping Dallas Stars 3-2 on Thursday in a game that wasnt decided until the
last shot of the night.I think it was (Tyler) Seguin who shot the puck at the
end there from the side, Rinne said. I was just diving across and obviously, you
need some luck to make that save.It was a huge win for us. Cullen gets a big
goal to win it. After that, we played smart, defended really hard and a few of
the bounces were going my way tonight.Nashville won for the third time in five
tries on a six-game road trip.Dallas rallied from a 2-0 deficit on goals by
Trevor Daley and Patrick Eaves. But the Stars have lost their last six games
(0-4-2), and are 1-2-4 at home.We played better, and got the same result, Dallas

good chances. Rinne probably was the difference-maker at the end.On the winning
goal, Cullen retrieved the puck when it came out of the right corner to him just
outside the crease. He shot under a tangle of legs past Dallas goalie Kari
Lehtonen and inside the right post.Craig Smith and Filip Forsberg scored

power-play goals in their first nine games, but have scored four in the last
four games.Dallas failed to score on its only power play, and is 0 for 15 in the
past four games.We had to win the special-teams battle in order to win the game,
and we did, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. Had the specialty teams been
reversed, maybe we had a different outcome.Rinne made 33 saves, 12 in the third
period. Lehtonen had 30.Dallas was pretty desperate, Rinne said.
