GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Trailing by five runs in the ninth, the Dodgers rallied for a 7-5 win against the Rockies after A.J. Ellis' walk-off three-run homer on Thursday.
Gabe Kapler got the Dodgers on the board with a two-run double with one out in the ninth, and scored on an Ivan De Jesus Jr. single. De Jesus scored on a wild pitch, and Ellis crushed his homer over the left-field wall off of Rockies reliever Chris Malone.
Jhoulys Chacin, who allowed five hits over four scoreless innings, out-pitched Dodgers starter Hiroki Kuroda, who was charged with five earned runs in six-plus innings with four strikeouts and a walk.
The Rockies got to Kuroda in the fourth inning. Jonathan Herrera led off with a single and was doubled home by Seth Smith. Mike Jacobs singled Smith to third and he scored on a sacrifice fly by Ty Wigginton.
