Palmeiro Stars in Dodgers Win
The first-place Los Angeles Dodgers welcomed Colorado to Dodger Stadium.

The Los Angeles Dodgers topped the Colorado Rockies by the score of 12-5, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Rafael Palmeiro. Palmeiro was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Dodgers. Los Angeles, now 60-53, holds first place in the United League West Division.

Los Angeles catcher Jason Varitek contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a slider into right field for a bases-clearing double. It was his 16th double of the season and put the Dodgers ahead, 8-3.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Palmeiro told the Los Angeles Daily News. "It's as simple as that."
