DENVER -- Carlos Gonzalez was confident he wouldnt miss any extended time after suffering a sprained left ankle Wednesday night.Sure, its painful, he says. Its nothing compared to the ache his team would feel without him, though.Gonzalez homered twice before leaving the game with what looked like a bad sprain in the Rockies 12-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.Gonzalez had his 19th multi-homer game of his career with Nos. 22 and 23 this season. He was then forced to exit the game in the bottom of the seventh after rolling his ankle in the batters box.Gonzalezs prognosis: I wont be out.I hope that tomorrow I will feel a little bit better, he added. If I feel a little bit better, itll be good enough to play. Just tape it and go out there and have fun with my team.Nolan Arenado, Mark Reynolds and DJ LeMahieu also went deep in Colorados 11th win in 13 games that moved it above the .500 mark for the first time since May 18.The Rockies latest streak has them within three games of the second NL wild card, with three teams between them and St. Louis. Gonzalez missing any substantial amount of time would hamper any postseason hopes -- especially since rookie shortstop Trevor Story (thumb) was already lost for the remainder of the season.Its been fun, Gonzalez said. Its fun when you get wins. We are playing good baseball right now.Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was moved to the 60-day disabled list earlier in the day, and right-hander Louis Coleman (shoulder fatigue) and left-hander Adam Liberatore were also placed on the DL -- giving Los Angeles an NL-record 25 players put there this season.Arenado made things worse for the Dodgers from there, hitting a three-run home run to spark a five-run first inning off starter Brock Stewart (0-2). Reynolds added a two-run blast put the Rockies ahead 5-2.Later, LeMahieu and Gonzalez homered as part of a four-run fifth. Gonzales went deep again in the sixth.I am frustrated, Stewart said. The bullpen session before the game was great. Everything was working and then everything stayed flat during the game.It was a rough night, thats for sure.Tyler Anderson (4-3), meanwhile, allowed two runs in seven innings for Colorado. He struck out six and walked two. His lone blemish came in the first inning when Justin Turner hit a two-run home run.Anderson has been outstanding, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Hes a pretty amazing story when you think about it. Not pitching at all a year ago. He showed up at the big league level hitting the ground level. Hes given us a quality start every time out.SCOREBOARD WATCHING(This is) when the fun starts, Weiss said of the wild-card race. This is time of year where you get to watch the scoreboard and youre paying attention to the other games. Theres that focus and emphasis on your game every night, to win every night. Thats fun.Its a lot easier showing up to the ballpark under those circumstances.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: Kershaw (back) wont be eligible to return until Aug. 27 at the earliest. ... LHP Rich Hill (hand) threw around 50 pitches in a bullpen session Wednesday. He looked real good and executed all his pitches, Roberts said. ...

In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious.OAKVILLE, Ont. -- Even though half the field had yet to play on Thursday, the first round of the 2013 RBC Canadian Open was largely decided by noon. Brendan Steele held on to his early clubhouse lead to win the first round of the Canadian Open after shooting a 7-under 65, with no golfer in the afternoon grouping able to crack the top five of the $5.6-million PGA Tour event. Joe Affrunti came closest. His 4-under 68 performance tied him for seventh. "Today was probably the most complete round that Ive had all year, so that was kind of nice," said Steele. "Didnt miss many greens, didnt hit many shots off line, and I was able to roll a few putts in." The 30-year-old Steele played consistent golf over the par-72, 7,253-yard Glen Abbey Golf Course, only bogeying the par-4 ninth hole. Steele had eight birdies, five on the front nine alone. Scott Gardiner, Matt Kuchar and Scott Brown all tied for second, one shot off the pace. Gardiner was tied for first after eagleing on the par-3 15th hole, but he bogeyed on the next hole to drop back into a tie with Kuchar and Brown. "Actually, didnt hit that bad a drive on 16, and went left and got stuck behind a tree and had to lay up," said Gardiner. "And then I hit a pretty good (shot), I missed a four foot putt. That was a struggle, but the rest of the shots I was fairly happy with. But then a couple of the tee shots there on the last." Ottawas Brad Fritsch was the top Canadian after a 3-under 69 performance. He birdied his final three holes to pass David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., on the leaderboard. Hearn finished 2 under. "I think I hit less than 50 per cent of the fairways, but I think thats just the nature of this golf course," said Fritsch. "I looked like I got some horrendous bounces. When I was expecting one way, it went the other, and that led to a little bit of frustration. But I stayed patient." Fritsch was pleased with his performance, especially with an afternoon start time on a day where temperatures reached 23 C. "I made an unforced bogey on No. 2, which is a birdie hole. Got off to a bad start," said Fritsch. "But I made six birdies. So out here in the afternoon, thats pretty good when 156 players have been on the greens already." David Lingmerth and Hunter Mahan tied for fifth after going 5-under par. "I did okay in my opening nine. Just didnt hit it greeat," said Mahan, who started his round at No.dddddddddddd10. "Didnt give myself a lot of great looks at birdie, but certainly on 1 and 2, I got some momentum on my side and hit it good after that. "Gave myself a lot of good looks and the greens were rolling true. Its in great shape right now. In the morning well have perfect conditions." Many notable names in the tournament showed signs of fatigue after last weeks British Open. Scott Piercy, last years Canadian Open champion, finished in a group tied for 41st after going 1 under. Ernie Els was also in that group, while two-time Canadian Open champion Jim Furyk shot at even par to tie for 69th. Luke Donald (73) was 1 over and Graeme McDowell (76) was in a group tied for 141st at 4 over. "It was fun to be out here. It was perfect conditions," said Kuchar. "I feel like last week, conditions were so challenging and so difficult at the British Open to come here and to play golf that is more friendly and more what were used to the PGA Tour was great." Amateur Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., almost finished the day as the top Canadian after eagleing on the 16th hole. Unfortunately, he bogeyed on his final two holes to finish at 1-under 71 in a tie with Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C. Still, Conners was the top amateur on the day. "It was great. I had myself in some tricky spots but was able to save shots by getting the ball up and down and making some key putts," said Conners. "Felt pretty good out there. Disappointed to bogey the last two, had a real nice round going but overall still a great round." Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., struggled in the morning group, triple bogeying on the par-4 14th hole. He recovered on his final five holes to finish the round at par. He wasnt the only Canadian to have trouble on the course. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., and Eric Banks of Truro, N.S., both shot a 73, while Calgarys Stephen Ames, Peter Laws of Milton, Ont., and Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., all had a 74. Riley Wheeldon of Comox, B.C., and Eugene Wong of North Vancouver, B.C., tied after shooting identical scores of 3-over 75. Amateur Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., shot a 76. Victorias Kevin Carrigan, Torontos Albin Choi and Bryn Parry of North Vancouver, B.C., all shot 77, while Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., had a 78. Brian Hadley of Sarnia, Ont., finishea 76.
