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.

With one out in the top of the sixth, Freddie Freeman's triple put him at third base. But Los Angeles wasn't able to drive him in and the Dodgers remained in the lead by a single run.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Rockies' Hunter Goodman doubled to center with nobody out. Ezequiel Tovar hit a ball that was deflected by Klein. Freeman wasn't able to get it at first base and that put runners on the corners for the Rockies.

Colorado's Troy Johnson then stepped into the batter's box and connected for a two-run double. Goodman and Tovar scored, giving the Rockies a 4-3 lead.

The Dodgers put up a fight in the top of the eighth. Tucker singled to left, moving Ohtani, who was at first base, up to second. That gave the Dodgers two runners on base with nobody out. Andy Pages stepped up to the plate. Rockies catcher Goodman challenged a pitch that was called a ball.

Upon review, the call on the field was overturned and Pages was called out on strikes.

Freeman followed with a sharp lineout to center, moving Ohtani to third base.

On a 3-1 pitch with two outs, the Rockies, once again, challenged a balls-and-strikes call. This time, the umpire's call was upheld and Teoscar Hernández walked to first base.

That loaded them up for Max Muncy, but Muncy grounded out to second and that ended the Dodgers' threat.

Then, in the top of the ninth, with one out, Ohtani singled to right and Santiago Espinal moved up to second base. Tucker flied out to left, though, and that ended the ballgame. 

While the Dodgers battled late, they just could not come through with the big hit when needed.

The Rockies are now 8-13 overall and in fifth place in the National League West Division. As for the Dodgers, they fall to 15-5 and still maintain their first-place spot in the NL West.

The Dodgers and Rockies play two more games at Coors Field before Los Angeles heads to the Bay Area for a showdown with the San Francisco Giants.
