LOS ANGELES -- Zack Greinkes best outing with the Los Angeles Dodgers was a workmanlike display of pitching to spots and letting his teammates make the plays behind him -- mostly on groundballs. Greinke retired his first 13 batters before finishing with a two-hitter, leading the Dodgers over the Colorado Rockies 1-0 on Saturday. "He had a good slider and his four-seamer was cutting, which made him effective," Rockies right fielder Michael Cuddyer said. "But more than anything, it was his location. He threw a lot of strikes. His velocity was good and he kept the ball down." The Dodgers won for the 14th time in 17 games, despite the absence of rookie outfielder Yasiel Puig, who missed his first game since his promotion on June 3 because of a sore left hip. He was removed during each of the previous two games of this series for precautionary reasons. Greinke (8-2) struck out nine, walked one and got 14 groundball outs while recording his fourth shutout and 13th complete game in 245 career starts. He out-pitched Tyler Chatwood (5-3), who gave up a run in the first inning then nothing the rest of the way while going the distance for the first time in 49 big league starts. Greinke set down the first 11 Colorado batters on just 31 pitches -- inducing 10 groundballs and a checked-swing popup to third base by Todd Helton. "It wasnt a plan. It just kind of happened that way," Greinke said after winning his fifth straight start. "I wasnt necessarily trying to do it. I was just down in the zone a lot, and that had a lot to do with why the results were good. The Rockies got one runner as far as second, when Helton worked out a nine-pitch walk to open the eighth and pinch-runner Josh Rutledge stole on the next pitch. But Greinke retired the next three batters. The Rockies didnt get their first baserunner until Helton lined a clean single to left-centre on a 2-2 curve ball with one out in the fifth. "Really I just threw fastballs and sliders today," Greinke said. "Every time I threw a curveball, they hit it hard. So I tried not to throw too many of them." Jonathan Herrera bunted to the right side for a hit leading off the sixth, but was caught stealing on the next pitch by A.J. Ellis, who has erased 18 of 38 would-be base-stealers this season. Greinke needed only 44 pitches to get through five innings, and had so much energy by then that he stole his first base of the season without a throw from catcher Yorvit Torrealba after lining an opposite-field single to right in the bottom of the fifth. He then proceeded to strike out four of his next six batters. The 29-year-old right-hander, who signed a six-year, $147 million contract with the Dodgers in December as a free agent, improved his home record to 5-0 with a 2.17 ERA in seven starts at Dodger Stadium. In his last 43 home starts overall, he is 28-2 with a 2.93 ERA. "Its not like we were being as aggressive as possible. I mean, the guy was throwing strikes, so we swung," Rockies centre fielder Dexter Fowler said. "He was throwing everything and was around the zone." Chatwood gave up a leadoff double in the first by Skip Schumaker and hit Mark Ellis with his next pitch before Hanley Ramirez drove in Schumaker with a one-out grounder. "That was definitely a tough one," Chatwood said. "My stuff was the same all game, and I attacked the zone. I threw the ball good today, but thats just how it goes. You have to tip your cap to Zack. He pitched a good game." Chatwood struck out four and walked two in eight innings. The right-hander got through seven for the first time in 30 starts since July 24, 2011, during his rookie season. "We didnt get a win, but I dont think his outing was wasted," Cuddyer said. "I think he can continue to build off that." NOTES: Greinkes win came on the 11th anniversary of the day he signed his first professional contract with the Royals, and was his third career 1-0 victory as a starter. ...
