 DENVER (AP) - Brad Penny scattered five hits over six innings before leaving with an abdominal cramp and Rafael Furcal hit a two-run homer as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Colorado 5-4 on Thursday night.
Penny (13-1) was taken out of the game after hurting himself as he beat out an infield single in the seventh inning. He hunched over after he reached first base and the trainers sprinted out to examine him. Penny was led off the field.
It's the second straight game the Dodgers had a pitcher leave early. Derek Lowe hurt his groin against Houston and was removed in the fifth inning. He had an MRI exam on Thursday afternoon, but the results weren't known at game time.
