Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Matt Kemp and Luis Cruz each hit a two-run home run as the Los Angeles Dodgers capped a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 7-1 win.

A.J. Ellis added a solo home run while Shane Victorino went 3-for-5 and scored twice for the Dodgers, who have won five straight. Josh Beckett (2-3) gave up just one run on six hits with three walks and five strikeouts over six innings.

Andrew Brown's solo home run was the only score of the game for the Rockies, who had won four straight coming into the series. Jorge De La Rosa (0-2) went just four innings in the start and gave up four runs on five hits.
