Kenta Maeda suffered his fifth loss of the season on Saturday after yielding three runs in a seven-inning outing in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 3-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
Maeda (5-5) struck out nine but gave up three runs on five hits and two walks at Dodger Stadium, including a fifth-inning solo home run to Ian Desmond. Colorado righty German Marquez (6-8) also fanned nine and held the Dodgers to a run on two hits over eight innings.
Maeda opened the game with three perfect innings before giving up his first hit in the fourth to D.J. LeMahieu, who scored to put the Rockies ahead.
