Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Josh Rutledge had a career-high four hits and knocked in three runs to lead the Colorado Rockies past the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-1, in the middle test of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.

Josh Roenicke (4-0) earned the win with three scoreless innings of relief of starter Alex White, who allowed a hit and walked five over four innings.

Eric Young added three hits and two runs scored for Colorado, which won consecutive games for the first time since bookending the All-Star break from July 8-13 with victories over Washington and Philadelphia.

The Rockies had not won games on back-to-back days since beating the Dodgers on June 3 and Arizona on June 4.

Aaron Harang (7-7) surrendered all three runs on six hits and four walks in six-plus innings for the Dodgers, who have lost five of their last eight.
