DENVER -- In four forgettable starts at Coors Field, Alex Wood had an 11.25 ERA. His fifth start there Saturday night was highly memorable.

The Los Angeles left-hander baffled the Colorado Rockies with his fastball, knuckle-curve and changeup as Los Angeles prevailed 4-0.

Wood (4-0) gave up five singles (two infield hits), walked one and struck out 10 -- all swinging -- in six innings. He lowered his ERA to 2.27 while throwing 60 of 88 pitches for strikes. Wood has 48 strikeouts and 11 walks in 35 2/3 innings this season.

The Dodgers won for the seventh time in eight games. After four straight series wins, Colorado looks to split this four-game set Sunday.

Los Angeles scored two runs in the second and another in the fifth on Brett Eibner's mammoth home run, an estimated 465-foot shot well into the trees behind the center field fence.

Colorado's Tyler Anderson (2-4) pitched 5 2/3 innings, the seventh time in eight starts this season he failed to work six innings. He left after giving up a double to Franklin Gutierrez and a walk to Cody Bellinger. Scott Oberg walked Austin Barnes to load the bases but struck out Eibner to keep the Dodgers lead at 3-0.

The Dodgers made it 4-0 in the seventh when Chris Taylor singled and dashed home from first when Justin Turner lashed a double over first baseman Mark Reynolds and down into the right-field corner.

The Rockies were shut out for the third time this season and second at Coors Field, where they lost 6-0 to San Diego on April 12. The shutout was the second for the Dodgers, both on the road. They beat the Cubs 2-0 at Chicago on April 12.
