DENVER – Pinch hitter Pat Valaika and David Dahl homered in an eight-run fifth inning, Nolan Arenado had four hits, including a home run, and the Colorado Rockies beat Los Angeles 13-9 on Friday night, snapping a 12-game losing streak to the Dodgers.
The Rockies withstood a three-run homer by Max Muncy and a two-run drive by Alex Verdugo to record their first win over the Dodgers since Sept. 8. The skid was the second-longest losing streak to one team in Colorado history, eclipsed only by a run of 16 consecutive losses to the Atlanta Braves from 1993-94.

In Baltimore, the Orioles took the luster off Mike Clevinger’s return from the injured list, scoring seven early runs off the right-hander in a rout of Cleveland.
Chance Sisco homered and had a career-high five RBIs for the Orioles, who built an 8-0 lead in the second inning and cruised to only their second win in 15 games.
Marlins 6, Phillies 2
