The Rockies lost twice Saturday afternoon at Coors Field.

The Dodgers beat them 6-2, snapping the Rockies' five-game winning streak.

The Rockies also lost starter Juan Nicasio to a strained left knee in the second inning. After the game, Nicasio had trouble putting weight on his left leg but said he hoped to make his next start. That might be wishful thinking.

Manager Jim Tracy said the club would know more about Nicasio's status, and his possible replacement, today.

Turning point. Carlos Gonzalez had rented Superman's cape for nearly a week, driving in 11 runs in his past six games. But he twice failed in his role as hero Saturday.

Facing Dodgers starter Aaron Harang in the fifth, Gonzalez fouled out with one out and the bases loaded. CarGo slammed his bat in anger.

"That was just the frustration of the moment," Gonzalez said. "It was a pitch out of the strike zone, and I should have just taken the pitch."

CarGo had another chance in the seventh. With two on, he hit a screamer to first baseman James Loney, who turned a slick inning-ending double play.

On the mound. Nicasio twisted his knee on a sharp grounder up the middle by Elian Herrera. Herrera's two-run single put the Dodgers in front 3-1. Nicasio provided an uneven performance before his exit, needing 45 pitches (25 strikes) to get through 1 innings. He was charged with three runs (two earned) on four hits.

Lefty Matt Reynolds pitched two innings of relief, one good, one costly. In the sixth, Bobby Abreu hit a two-out solo homer, and then Andre Ethier doubled and scored on Adam Kennedy's single. The two runs gave the Dodgers a comfortable 6-1 lead.
