LOS ANGELES, June 1 (UPI) -- Matt Kemp hit a two-run home run and drove in four runs Tuesday to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers past Colorado 8-2.

Kemp went 2-for-4 for the Dodgers, who extended their winning streak to three games. Casey Blake added a three-run homer for the Dodgers, who scored three runs in the seventh inning.

Ted Lilly (4-4) struck out a season-high eight batters and was credited with the victory. Lilly allowed two runs on four hits over seven innings and turned the game over to Rubby De La Rosa, who pitched the final two innings in a non-save situation.

Clay Mortensen (1-3) took the loss, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks in four innings.

Ty Wigginton had a solo home run for Colorado. The Rockies had just five hits in the game and struck out 10 times in their third straight loss.
