Brenton Doyle hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-6 in Denver on Wednesday night.

It was redemption for Colorado, which blew a five-run, ninth-inning lead Tuesday night in an 11-9 loss.

Michael Toglia homered and tripled, Ryan McMahon and Adael Amador each had two hits and Jalen Beeks (3-3) got the win with a scoreless inning of relief for the Rockies.

The Rockies opened the ninth with two singles off Yohan Ramirez (0-3) and Amador reached on a fielder’s choice to advance Jake Cave to third. Doyle then lofted a flyout to center and Cave easily beat the throw home.

Shohei Ohtani had two hits and drove in three runs and Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages had two hits each for Los Angeles.

Colorado jumped out to a lead on starter Bobby Miller, who had been on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation since April 10.

With two outs in the first, McMahon singled, Jacob Stallings walked and Toglia homered to center — his sixth of the season — to put the Rockies ahead 3-0.

In the second, the Dodgers loaded the bases on a single, a hit batter and a walk before Ohtani hit a bases-clearing double to left-center field. Ohtani scored on Freeman’s single to put Los Angeles ahead 4-3 but Toglia led off the fourth with a triple and scored on a Sean Bouchard groundout to tie it.

Los Angeles went back in front in the fifth against starter Ryan Feltner, who allowed six runs on seven hits over five innings. Freeman led off with a single, Teoscar Hernandez reached on a fielder’s choice and Pages singled.

Jason Heyward drove both home with a double to make it 6-4, but the Rockies answered in the seventh. Bouchard led off with a double and moved to third on a groundout.

After Daniel Hudson relieved Miller, Bouchard scored on a Cavan Biggio error, Amador doubled and Elehuris Montero scored on Doyle’s sacrifice fly.

That denied Miller the win in his return. He allowed five runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings.
