_______Rockies vs Dodgers_______ 
_______Jorge De La Rosa 0-0 -.--era vs Esteban Loaiza 1-2 4.15era_______
Rockies: By demoting left-handed rookie Franklin Morales to Triple-A Colorado Springs, moving lefty Jeff Francis to Friday night and pushing lefty Mark Redman to Tuesday against the Cardinals, the Rockies created an opening for Saturday, then completed a trade with the Royals for De La Rosa, who was 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in four starts for the Royals' Triple-A affiliate in Omaha. De La Rosa was the player to be named in the Spring Training deal that sent right-handed reliever Ramon Ramirez to the Royals.
Dodgers: Loaiza made his second start and got into the fifth inning on Sunday against the Rockies at Dodger Stadium. He maintained his stuff through four scoreless frames before the Rockies tagged him for both runs in the fifth inning. Loaiza allowed two earned runs, five hits, one walk and struck out one. He made the most out of 70 pitches, throwing 44 for strikes.
Rockies center fielder Willy Taveras earned his 12th and 13th stolen bases of the season in Friday night's 11-6 loss to the Dodgers. He has stolen eight straight and is 4-for-4 on steals of third. ... Todd Helton homered off Dodgers starter Brad Penny, who is 14-2 in his career against the Rockies. However, Helton is hitting .316 (18-for-57) against Penny. ... Right-handed reliever Jason Grilli made his Rockies debut Friday, giving up two hits but inducing a double-play grounder in the seventh. ... Scott Podsednik entered in the seventh and knocked a two-run triple Friday. He is 4-for-13 (.308) with five walks and a hit-by-pitch as a pinch-hitter.
With general manager Ned Colletti watching, 20-year-old phenom Clayton Kershaw allowed one unearned run over 6 2/3 innings Friday night for Double-A Jacksonville, but drew a no-decision and remains winless. He allowed six hits with one walk and five strikeouts. Kershaw is having his innings limited to 25 per month so he has something left to help the Major League club later in the year. His ERA is 1.11. ... Joe Beimel picked up victories in three of the previous four games, the first time a Dodgers pitcher had accomplished that since Mike Marshall in June 1974, the year he won the Cy Young Award. ... Injured infielder Tony Abreu will spend a few days at extended Spring Training in Florida before joining Triple-A Las Vegas for an injury rehab assignment. He's been out with lingering groin muscle soreness. ... The May issue of Dodgers Magazine, which honors the Dodgers' run of greatness during the 1960s, will be availale at Dodger Stadium beginning on Monday and can be ordered online at dodgers.com/magazine or by calling toll-free at 877-BLUE-62.
