DENVER ( Associated Press) – Will Smith and Treyce Thompson hit two-run homers, Julio Ureas played seven innings of control, and the Los Angeles Dodgers continued their impressive show in July as they beat the Colorado Rockies 5-4 on Friday. ,

Smith singled out and hit base four times, while Uriahs (10-6) used a combination of fastballs, changeups and curveballs to restrict the Rockies to two runs and four hits.

Evan Phillips scored without hitting two in the eighth before Kimbrel loaded the bases and gave a two-run single to Randall Grichuk.
With Grichuk second and two outs, Kimbrel saved his 18th by dismissing Ryan McMahon after a foul in left field.
Chad Kuhl (6-6), who allowed only three hits on June 27 – the last time he faced the Dodgers – allowed three hits in the first innings.
On the 1-2 count, Smith found a sinker and hit a 435-foot homer that went into left field.
Cuba’s Jose Iglesias scored a goal for the Rockies 3-2.
