Will Klein came on in the bottom of the sixth inning, looking to keep the Los Angeles Dodgers' precarious one-run lead alive.

Klein, though, wasn't able to get the job done. The Colorado Rockies put two runs on the board in the sixth inning and held on for a 4-3 victory over the Dodgers at Coors Field in Denver, Colo.

Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan went five innings, allowing four hits, two runs (both earned), walked two, and struck out four. Klein entered after Sheehan left, trying to give Dodgers manager Dave Roberts some hope in his bullpen.

The bullpen has, for the most part, been decent this season. On Saturday night, though, Klein faltered. He absorbed the loss, evening his record this season to 1-1.

Reliever Brendan Bernardino picked up the win in relief of Rockies starter Ryan Feltner, putting his season record at 2-0. Reliever Victor Vodnik earned his third save of the season.

Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker hit a two-run home run in the top of the first, bringing home Shohei Ohtani ahead of him. Tucker's third homer this season put Los Angeles up early 2-0. The Rockies, though, got on the board in the bottom of the first with a run.

Entering the second inning, the Dodgers led 2-1. Dalton Rushing's fifth homer this season, a solo shot to right, gave Los Angeles a 3-1 edge. Colorado added a run in the bottom of the second as the Dodgers led 3-2 at that moment.
