Dodgers seeking eighth straight win

May 3, 2008 - 1:32 PM LA Dodgers (16-13) at Colorado (11-18) 8:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) - It did not take long for the Los Angeles Dodgers to have some success with new manager Joe Torre at the helm.

A four-time World Series champion as manager of the New York Yankees, Torre will try to lead the Dodgers to their eighth consecutive victory Saturday when they square off with the Colorado Rockies.

Los Angeles batted around in a seven-run sixth inning Friday, rallying past the slumping Colorado Rockies for an 11-6 victory at a chilly Coors Field.

The Dodgers are hoping that righthander Esteban Loaiza (1-2, 4.15 ERA) can help them continue their good fortunes. Making his third start of the season, Loaiza has yet pitch more than five innings this season.

Loaiza allowed two runs and five hits over five frames in Sunday's 3-2 triumph over the Rockies.

Colorado, which has lost five of its previous six contests, will counter with lefthander Jorge De La Rosa. The 27-year-old Mexican is making his season debut after posting an 8-12 record with a 5.82 ERA in 2007.

After defeating the Dodgers in their last seven meetings of 2007, the Rockies are 0-4 against the club this year.
