The Los Angeles Dodgers look for a series win on Wednesday afternoon as they finish a three-game set against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Clayton Kershaw gets the start for the Dodgers, looking for this third win of the season, while rookie Drew Pomeranz starts for Colorado.
Juan Rivera, who was reduced to pinch hitting duty for six games after straining his left hamstring, returns to the starting lineup on Wednesday afternoon against the left-handed Pomerantz.

Hairston is at third in place of Juan Uribe, who re-injured his left wrist on Tuesday.
