LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hanley Ramirez homered before leaving with a hand injury, and Zack Greinke pitched the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.
Matt Kemp also went deep and Carlos Triunfel hit his first major league home run after replacing Ramirez. Greinke (9-3) threw a season-high 117 pitches over six innings, allowing a run and three hits with five strikeouts and two walks.
The right-hander tied St. Louis’ Adam Wainwright and Cincinnati’s Alfredo Simon for the NL lead in wins.
Ramirez, a three-time All-Star shortstop and the 2009 NL batting champion, left in the seventh with a bruised ring finger on his right hand after Corey Dickerson’s hard grounder to him deflected into short center field for an RBI double that trimmed the Dodgers’ lead to 3-2.
