Justin Sellers hit a tiebreaking two-run single, and James Loney and Matt Kemp belted back-to-back homers as the Los Angeles Dodgers scored six runs in the seventh inning to defeat the visiting Colorado Rockies 6-1 on Friday.

The Rockies had their five-game winning streak stopped and fell 10 games behind Arizona in the National League West.

With Colorado leading 1-0, Esmil Rogers (6-3) loaded the bases with none out in the seventh, but was on the verge of escaping unscathed as Andre Ethier was thrown out at the plate by center fielder Dexter Fowler following Jamey Carroll's flyout.

But after pinch-hitter Tony Gwynn Jr. was walked intentionally, Rogers balked in the tying run.

Sellers followed with his single to give Los Angeles a 3-1 lead before Loney belted a two-run homer off Matt Reynolds. Kemp, who has 33 stolen bases, joined Raul Mondesi as the only Dodgers in the 30-30 club by launching his 30th blast of the season.

Ted Lilly (8-13) allowed one run and three hits over seven innings en route to his second win in eight starts. The veteran lefthander, who improved to 3-0 against Colorado this year, has yielded three runs or less in six straight outings.

Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a solo homer in the first inning. It also was his 10th consecutive contest with an RBI, matching the franchise record set by Vinny Castilla in 2004.
