The Dodgers are winning in Brown's absence, and have done so all season. That trend continued Tuesday thanks to a deja vu See DjVu. ninth inning that led to six runs and a 10-4 Dodgers victory over the Colorado Rockies For the National Hockey League team (1976 – 1982), now known as the New Jersey Devils, see .

With the score tied 4- 4 and the bases loaded, Karros fell behind 0-2. He fouled off the next pitch before singling to right-center field to give the Dodgers a 6-4 lead. Marquis Grissom singled in a run and Beltre hit a three-run homer to make it 10-4. ``That's just a huge inning, and collection of great at-bats by everyone that was involved,'' Dodgers manager Jim Tracy said. ``You can't have any better at-bats than we had in the ninth inning.'' While the Dodgers await word on the severity of Brown's back injury, as well as the swelling in his right elbow, they continue to win in his absence. Brown's been on the disabled list twice, during which the Dodgers are 17-5. They are 18-18 when Brown is on the active roster. ``I know we need him,'' Dodgers pitcher Odalis Perez said. ``We want him here. Even though we have a good pitching staff and we're doing a good job, we need him. We need Brownie. He's the horse. He's the big gun. Right now, maybe we don't need him because we're doing good, but soon he's a guy that we need when it counts.''
