LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Matt Kemp blasted a game-winning home run in the bottom of the 11th inning Saturday, handing the Los Angeles Dodgers a 7-6 win over Colorado.
After James Loney flew out to out start the 11th, Kemp went to the opposite field with an 0-2 pitch from Jason Hammel (7-13) and belted it into right-center field pavilion, ending the game.
Casey Blake chipped in with a two-run double during a five-run sixth inning for the Dodgers, who logged their fifth straight victory, matching their season high.
The win went to Mike MacDougal (1-1), who tossed a scoreless top of the 11th.
Hammel had kept the Dodgers off the board in the 10th, but couldn't hold the lead an inning later as Colorado dropped the first two games of their series with the Dodgers.
Carlos Gonzalez contributed four hits and set a franchise record by notching an RBI in an 11th consecutive game while Troy Tulowitzki smacked a pair of two-run homers for the Rockies.
