LOS ANGELES, June 4 (UPI) -- Jeff Francis shut out the LA Dodgers for seven innings and Chris Iannetta homered Tuesday, allowing Colorado to end an eight-game losing streak with a 3-0 win.

Seth Smith went 2-for-3 and scored once, while Todd Helton singled in a run.

Brad Penny (5-7) allowed two runs on six hits and four walks in six innings.

Delwyn Young doubled twice for the Dodgers, who have dropped three of their last four.

Both dugouts emptied onto the field in the bottom of the eighth when Colorado catcher Yorvit Torrealba bumped into LA's Matt Kemp while picking up the ball and tagging him and they wound up wrestling each other to the ground.
