LA Dodgers defeat Colorado Rockies 7-6. It's was a Coors Field Classic. The Dodgers take a 7-0 lead. The Rockies come back. But Javy Guerra made sure they would remain one run short giving up one hit in his eighth save of the season. The Dodgers are 1-0 in the Guggenheim era.

LA Angels defeat Minnesota Twins 4-0. The Angels found a team worse than them. Jerome Williams pitched a complete game three-hit shutout as Albert Pujols went 0-for-4 with an RBI dropping his batting average to .208. The Dodgers' Dee Gordon now has one more homer than Pujols.
