DENVER -- Starter Jon Gray pretended he was closing out the first inning.Anything to avoid a pattern of early game hiccups.That particular approach served him well, too, with Gray pitching six scoreless innings to help the Colorado Rockies beat the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 on a gusty Monday night.Gray (9-6) surrendered four hits and struck out eight in a crisp performance for his first win since Aug. 2.I feel like sometimes you can out-aggressive people. I like to do that, Gray said. Bring a little intensity and cruise from there.Gray started strong, which hasnt always been the case this season. Of the 72 runs he has allowed, 34 have been scored in the opening two innings.In this game, not even a third-inning downpour could interrupt his concentration.Gray ran into trouble in the fifth with two on and one out. Adrian Gonzalez sent a sinking liner to center that Charlie Blackmon hauled in as he slid on the slick grass. Gray pointed his glove toward the centerfielder in appreciation.That was awesome, Gray said. That really helped me out a lot.DJ LeMahieu had a two-run double in a five-run seventh that turned a pitching duel into a rout.Kenta Maeda (13-8) was electric once again at Coors Field -- except for a hanging slider that Nick Hundley hit for a two-run homer in the fourth. The right-hander with the quirky delivery allowed four hits over five innings. Maeda has a 2.12 ERA in three starts at the hitter friendly park.Overall, I thought I pitched pretty well, Maeda said through a translator. It was that one pitch which was a slider inside that was definitely a mistake pitch.The Dodgers had a momentary scare when All-Star rookie shortstop Corey Seager was hit in the left hand by a pitch from Chris Rusin in the seventh. He appeared to be in quite a bit of pain as he made his way to first base, but remained in the game. Seager was hit earlier in the game. The team said X-rays were negative.Seager wont play Tuesday, but that was already planned.It always hurts when you get hit, said Seager, whose team finished with five hits. Youre glad its not broken and you move on.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (mild disk irritation) will face hitters in a simulated game on Tuesday in Los Angeles. A minor-league start may be the next step in his rehabilitation. We have a couple different scenarios. So, depending on how he comes out of it, well make a decision, manager Dave Roberts explained.Rockies: INF Mark Reynolds (broken bone in left hand) could return before the end of the season. Theres a lot still out in front of him that he has to be able to do before he gets into a game, manager Walt Weiss said.FANTASY DRAFTRoberts has a new player on his team -- Julio Jones, the game-changing receiver of the Atlanta Falcons. Jones may not help the Dodgers win the NL West, but could lift Roberts and his team to a fantasy football title.The Dodgers held their league draft in Denver on Sunday. Roberts is the silent partner on a squad co-owned by Justin Turner and Brandon McCarthy. They took Jones with the No. 2 overall pick.THIS & THATLast week, Maeda was optioned to the Arizona League Dodgers to free up roster space. He was recalled Monday and the team optioned right-handed pitcher Brock Stewart to Double-A Tulsa. ... Weiss said there wont be any conversations about a new contract until after the season.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Security preparations for the upcoming Rio de Janeiro Olympics will be reviewed after a devastating attack in France, Brazilian officials said Friday.Defense Minister Raul Jungmann told CBN radio in a Friday interview that safety protocols in Rio de Janeiro would be revised in the wake after Thursdays attack in the French coastal city of Nice that killed scores of people leaving a fireworks display along a well-known boulevard.A man drove a truck into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day in an attack that French officials called an undeniable act of terror. The killing only ended after police shot and killed the armed driver, who was identified as a 31-year-old Tunisian delivery man.Jungmann said he regretted the restrictions on movement likely to be caused in Rio by the possible increase of security checkpoints throughout the Olympics host city during the Aug. 5-21 games. He did not say what other measures could be taken.The attack in Nice is worrisome for us, too. We have learned a few lessons. We will review procedures, make more barriers, searches and apply much tighter security, Jungmann said. Unfortunately that can be an extra difficulty for people, but it is for their safety.Top government military adviser Sergio Etchegoyen told journalists in the capital Brasilia that the countrys security authorities were meeting Friday with acting President Michel Temer to examine possible gaps in preparations in hopes of guarding against such an attack in Brazil.Obviously our concerns have reached a higher level, Etchegoyen said. We havent identified imminent risks, but it is important that the population understands that they will lose a little comfort in exchange for more security.Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes confirmed that ssecurity would be beefed up for Olympic delegations of countries that were recently targeted, without providing further detail.ddddddddddddrazil is not a target of terrorism, but there is always a risk in organizing a great event with countries that are targets, Paes told TV Globo. The Olympics is a super event, but we have warned the people that there will be contingencies.Paes also hinted at more delays, already a worry in a city with suffocating traffic jams.Probably, the security forces are going to demand more blockades, more inconvenient things, Paes said.About 85,000 police and soldiers are to be deployed during the games, roughly twice the security contingent at the London Olympics.But the economic crisis in Rio and the entire country has affected security preparations, with officers complaining about delayed payments and poor working conditions.Elite police officials arriving from other states to help out have complained about their accommodations in Rio. One officer told The Associated Press that he and five other officers he is staying with had to spend almost $1,000 in furniture to live in their lodging for the next two months.A group of civil police officers staged a strike two weeks ago, with one contingent greeting visitors at Rios international airport with a sign reading in English: Welcome to Hell. Police and firefighters dont get paid; Whoever comes to Rio de Janeiro will not be safe.Rio de Janeiro state Gov. Francisco Dornelles in June declared a state of financial disaster that paved the way for $860 million in emergency aid from the federal government, including funds for Olympics security. ' ' '
