Ramirez helps Dodgers to 10-8 win over Rockies in a game Puig leaves early with bruised hip

DENVER — Hanley Ramirez had four hits, including a solo homer in the ninth, to help the Los Angeles Dodgers hold off the Colorado Rockies 10-8 on Wednesday night in a game outfielder Yasiel Puig left early with a bruised left hip after a leaping catch at the wall.

Juan Uribe, Adrian Gonzalez and Matt Kemp also homered for the Dodgers, who have won 10 of their last 11 games to climb back into the thick of the NL West race.

Puig reached up to rob Nolan Arenado of a hit in the fifth, only to smack his hip on a padded column below the scoreboard in right. Puig stayed down on the warning track for several minutes, before jogging around the outfield and remaining in the game.

The next inning, the rookie phenom drove in a run with a sacrifice fly before being taken out when the Dodgers made a double switch. Puig, who was just named the NL player of the month, finished 1 for 3 with a double.

Team officials said a precautionary X-ray was negative and he's listed as day-to-day.

Zack Greinke (6-2) struggled on the mound but still earned his third straight win. He gave up five runs in five innings and tied a career high with seven walks.

Reliever Paco Rodriguez pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings to set up Kenley Jansen, who recorded the final four outs to pick up his eighth save in 11 chances. Jansen got pinch-hitter Tyler Colvin to pop up to end the game in front of a sellout crowd waiting to see the fireworks.

With the Dodgers leading 8-7 heading into the ninth, Ramirez and Kemp hit homers to give them some breathing room. The Dodgers would need the insurance runs as Arenado had an RBI single to drive in Wilin Rosario after the catcher led off the ninth with a walk.

Every starter in the Dodgers' lineup had at least a hit, with Ramirez extending his hitting streak to 14 games on a single in the first.

A day after Michael Cuddyer had his 27-game hitting streak snapped, the outfielder singled in his first at-bat and later drove in a run by drawing a bases-loaded walk. Carlos Gonzalez added a solo homer off Greinke in the first inning.

Puig has been nothing short of sensational since being called up on June 3, hitting .440 this season with eight homers.

And when he fell to the dirt, Dodger fans held their breath. Kemp quickly rushed over to check on him, along with Ramirez and Gonzalez. Manager Don Mattingly also jogged out to the outfield to see how Puig was feeling.

"Now, it's getting to be where you kind of expect him to do something all the time," Mattingly said.
