Rockies 7, Dodgers 1

- — Andy McCullough

AT THE PLATE: A gray sky was spitting rain during a quiet afternoon for the Dodgers offense. Their lone run occurred in the fourth, when Yasmani Grandal singled, advanced on a single by Yasiel Puig and scored on a fielding error. Rob Segedin went two for two with a single and a double.

ON THE MOUND: Kenta Maeda labored through two innings of work, walking a pair of batters and yielding a solo homer to Rockies first baseman Jordan Patterson. Asked if he concerned himself with results at this juncture, Maeda was succinct. “Definitely not,” he said through interprete­r Will Ireton. “If they had scored five runs off me, I would think about it a little bit more.” . . . The afternoon unraveled in the fourth. Four of the first five Rockies to face reliever Josh Fields recorded hits. Colorado catcher Tony Wolters hit a three-run homer. After a double by second baseman Alexi Amarista, Manager Dave Roberts sent in young starter Brock Stewart. Stewart gave up a pair of hits as the Rockies amassed five runs in the inning.

EXTRA BASES: Scott Kazmir is expected to start on Wednesday night against the Giants in his Cactus League debut. Hyun-Jin Ryu will pitch in a minor league game that afternoon at the Dodgers complex. Ryu has pitched only once since shoulder surgery in 2015. “Ryu’s in a good place,” Roberts said. “But to get him in that controlled setting over here, that makes a lot of sense.”
